Review by E. Talerico

A few questions keep coming up - here are my answers:nIs the new OS easy to install? Yes! I did the in place install, left the DVD in my Mac Mini for 1 hr 15 min.nand when I came back, Leopard was running my machine. Could not have been easier. All my applications where I left them, email accounts now safely installed in the new Mail software.nDid all my applications work after the upgrade? Yes!nWith one notable exception. Extensis Suitcase Fusion generated some system issues when I launched Photoshop CS3 - turning Suitcase off resolved the problem.nWas the upgrade worth the expense? Yes!nI’ve already started seeing the payoff in the dock - Stacks work beautifully for getting rid of the clutter in my Dock - the upgrades to Spotlight are nothing short of amazing - it took my Mac about 6 hours to sort through the 6 terabytes of memory - an now everything is instantly searchable - the ‘coverflow’ view makes searching for files a pleasure, and the ability to preview items without opening their applications is a stroke of genius. And in spaces, I now have dedicated graphics and audio recording workstations to retreat to.nI find that Leopard multitasks better, operates my Mac Mini smoothly and without hiccups, and so far has been utterly stable. No crashes in three days of use!nI couldn’t be happier with this new OS. Bravo Apple!
