AInc need a miracle to beat this...

I just got my hands (paws?) on Mac OS X Leopard. I'd had a few brief previews of earlier versions but I have to say the final version is REALLY nice. It's not just all fluff and eye-candy over the same old crap like Vista, it really is a newer, better OS X version. I already feel at home.

Now if Bill McEwan is gonna produce an Amiga OS that beats this he's really, REALLY going to have to try harder don't you think? How does he hope to even compete?

I haven't had the time to explore Leopard yet. All I know is I hate what they've done with the interface.

Yep, 's about the only gripe I do have. I've already hacked it to disable the glass shelf dock (Apple put a plain black transparent dock in it for the left and right side, and you can switch the bottom one to this via a command at the terminal ). The semi-transparent menu bar is irritating as hell too, I hope someone finds a hack for that too.

Overall however I'm truly impressed by it. I was a bit down after upgrading from Panther (10.3) to Tiger (10.4) because I didn't think Tiger offered enough extra stuff that I found useful. Going from Tiger to Leopard (10.5) feels much more like the kind of leap you should make when you move to a major new version. I already can't live without Spaces, and Time Machine makes me feel like my data is at least somewhat safer

Like I said - AInc would need a genuine Miracle to beat this kind of OS.
