One thing that is starting to grate on me is the transparent menu bar. Perhaps I was wrong in not being bothered by it at first. I hope that Apple will offer some sort of Appearance Pane system preference to adjust the opacity level or turn it off completely.
I'm curious about Apple's future implementation of HD Authoring. We currently have iMovie and the Pro Apps to create content in High Definition, but we don't have the ability through Apple (e.g. iDVD) to burn the content, nor has Apple dropped BluRay burners into their upper-end models yet (I'm assuming they'll tip to BluRay as Pixar is already releasing BluRay content that can't be played on Apple machines without externals)
Anyone willing to guess as to when Apple will move on this issue? Hopefully we'll see it sometime in the Leopard developmental cycle rather than the next big cat.
Are you saying that your list of what you want to back up is actually shorter than the list of what you don't want to back up? I never heard of such a thing.
Of course it is. I don't want to backup music, movies, system files, Final Cut source files...
I do want to backup my documents folder... possibly my Library folder... erm, that's about it.
A consumer has every right to demand a good product from a company. Pretending that it is OK to have defects in a system is acceptable for some reason in IT... Why? Apple is pushing the envelope by frequently releasing a new version of their operating system with incremental changes instead of "ground breaking" changes to keep in sync with the current generation of hardware.

For your average home user, I'd wager Leopard has been just fine for the large, large majority.
The large majority doesn't own an iSub.
No iSub no Leopard

Because that doesn't make any sense.

If you think 10.5.2 has a large list of fixes, take a look at http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?si...23202&from=rss for the list of upcoming fixes in Vista SP1.
Apple users currently have it better with regard to the operating system, but we cant be complacent and let Apple morph into another Microsoft.

Personally, I am looking forward to 10.5.2, but I am not sure if it addresses the issues with X11.

I would doubt the X11 fixes are in there based on the mailing list comments but you can solve most issues with the xquartz and xlib at

What's broke in Front Row? It works so much better now, well to me anyway.
I miss not having DVD playback in front row, I have not heard anything about that feature returning though.

I just tried - DVD playback in Front row works without problem... (10.5.1)
