Editorial Review:

Product Description:
APPLE MAC OS X 10.5.4 LEOPARD




Rating: - Not a "must" upgrade, but definitely an evolution
I have personally found 'Tiger' to be the most efficient OS X to date, and therefore a real favourite for a couple of years when I was working in a graphics department. Their is no doubt Leopard is a beautiful upgrade, containing a stated "300+ upgrades", however, it is by no means essential if you Mac is work work purposes. The extra features we've found are not for the productive side of things, but more for consolidating files, making things visually look better, and a few notable new programs. ... Read More

Rating: - No, it's not better than windows. But it isn't worse.
It's in the middle.
I'm tired of reading these articles on how macs are vastly superior to windows based machines. if you consider that microsoft has to tailor an operating system to work on countless configurations of hardware, whereas apple mass produces the same specificiation for every set brand of computer, you may understand why windows crashes a bit more.
macs crash, by the way. mine froze on imovie the first day i got it. impressive, ey?
of course, mac os x leopard is stunning. ... Read More

Rating: - Easy and fault free upgrade to Mini Mac with Tiger
I started over a year ago with a Mini Mac with a Tiger operating system and then subsequently added an I-Mac and Notebook with Leopard pre- installed. So I found myself having to accept the need for an upgrade especially with the ability to better network all our domestic computers using Leopard.

The result was a painless and hassle free upgrade unlike one other Review submission - I have also not found the slow running commented on by others which given I am using the lower end of the Apple ... Read More

Rating: - Decent upgrade, but released too soon
I've been using Leopard for the best part of a month, so now it's starting to settle in.
The good - Time Machine is a useful back up tool, combined with either SuperDuper or Carbon Cloner gives you a bootable backup and a file backup which will protect you from any kind of local disaster (you'll need off site backup for fire, theft and flood though). Quick look is handy and spotlight has been improved. Stacks prevents your desktop from getting clogged up with files.

The bad - system stability ... Read More

Rating: - Better off with Tiger
I upgraded to Leopard from Tiger out of curiosity, and I have to say it looks pretty.

But that's not everything you expect your OS to be, and indeed after a while I decided to go back to Tiger. Why?

There was nothing fundamentally wrong with it, it didn't crash or anything like that. I just found it very annoying that it slowed down my Mac significantly (opening new folders in finder was a pain, I had to wait for several seconds to have folder contents displayed), and did various other things ...
