It ’s clip machine , ichat , finder … blah blah blah … but the verity is , you ca n’t go back . Tiger had a few things that I got caught up on — small hiccups like when you get your sleeve take in on a doorknob , that kind of touch — and they ironed em out .

The first differences you notice when switching from Tiger is the transparent carte du jour bar and the 3D dock . The sour grass attend decent , even though not offer much novel functionality .

[ A]new feature discover within the dock is “ Stacks ” . Any folder that ’s dragged to the right-hand side of the Dock turns into “ Stacks ” . Once you flick these Stacks the point within that folder will spring out … .Very cool feature and something completely unequaled …

The conception of Spaces is that the Mac ’s interface is actually a series of workspaces , locate adjacent to one another on a storage-battery grid … I’m not convince that multiple workspaces are ever going to be a mainstream feature , but they can be a huge productiveness rise to busy power users .
Technology Review
unluckily , Time Machine has a serious problem : there is no path ( that I can find ) to polish off a file from a Time Machine musical accompaniment . This is a pretty glaring omission . [ UPDATE from Apple : This is factually faulty . ]

[ Safari ’s ] newspaper headline feature is that you’re able to take a sherd of a web page and grow it into a Dashboard widget … There ’s also a more insidious improvement : you’re able to resize text surface area in WWW pages .

The general interface speed of Leopard , despite its fancy bells and whistle , is at least more or less quicker overall than Tiger in ecumenical and in some case dramatically snappier and more responsive … That ’s for the most part because many of the fancy features of Leopard are delegated to the video recording card , which is usually sit idle .
ArsTechnica
[ Under the hood ] DTrace solves a long - standing kernel ontogenesis problem , and does so in such a fantastic room that it creates new opportunity for Apple to help all programmers … [which ] ca n’t help but guide to better , faster , more stable applications — from third - party developer as well as from Apple itself . And it ’s all thanks to an obscure , open - rootage , low - level kernel debugging model from Sun .
TimesOnline
After playing with the organization for a couple of years , it becomes apparent that there is plenty on pass , ranging from minuscule improvements such as being capable to see which wi - fi web are locked or subject to more drastic changes such as smart folders .
CNET
Should you pay for Leopard ? If you ’re happy with the means Tiger works , then maybe not . If you need Bootcamp , however , then you must have Leopard … Plus , Leopard makes it far sluttish to find documents and applications than Windows Vista …
– Consensus ? Read the top and bottom quotes again and let the struggle ensue between your wallet and your tekki conscience . But there ’s no doubtfulness that Leopard is more than a re - skinned Tiger , and that most of the hyped young functions are useful for more tasks than take up a lineament sheet . Leopard is an unbelievable follow - up to Tiger .
