So far I'm happiest about the option to disable the menubar transparency. It looks pretty, but I can't help but feel it's stealin' ma RAMz.
And I don't know if I missed this (?) but another option I'd like to see integrated into the system preferences is to change the dock to the same style as they are on the sides of the screen. I saw that talk about Tinkertoy, but it would be really nice (and really easy) for Apple to implement this themselves.

True, but all TinkerToy is doing (I think... anyone care to confirm) is setting a on/off switch. It is not actually changing any resources or anything, if that was a concern of yours. Sure, having this option in Leopard would be nice, but TinkerToy is just as easy, and offers even more options beyond the dock.

Yeah, I don't know... I'm completely unhesitant to hack stuff on my computer with Vista, because I hate it. :P
I assume that's correct about the on/off setting too. I just kind of approach Mac computers a whole different way than Windows PCs I guess... It seems that Apple knows what they're doing more than Microsoft does when it comes to OS design. I'll just leave it up to Apple to see if they integrate the feature or not - if not, no big deal.

I know what you mean. I had a hell of a time when I switched from Windows to Mac OS X. I actually took my first Mac back to the store. I got another one just one week later because I realized I made a mistake by returning the first one. I had some deep-seated habits that died hard, but as I learned to let go of my Windows habits, I found that things just worked better for me with the Mac. So, yeah, I hesitate to hack the Mac, but I installed TinkerTool because it seemed reputable and doesn't seem to actually modify anything detrimental, much like TweakUI did with Windows.
As a matter of fact, the only two things I am running that have changed the Mac in any way like this are TinkerTool and Candybar3. I still choose to stay away from re-skinning tools or replacement launchers or hacks similar to that...

what don't you understand about non-techy users?
3rd, it's seriously as simple as using any other part of OSX.
