Leopard 10.5.2 also wasn't released. Hopefully Apple isn't going the way of Windows with bugs, because there's some definite problems that 10.5.2 needs to repair (ie: Adobe CS3 suite)
Apple controls both hardware and OSx, of course they should do better at 3rd party support. Leopard is an unmitigated Vista... though my copy of Vista simply works, unlike Leopard which has a hard time even networking. The reason this is not a huge scandal is that no one really uses their Macs anymore.
I'll have to agree with Devin, but at the same time Windows/Microsoft is and was typically held responsible for programs that did not work with Vista (when its not nessecarily their fault)
Leopard has the fastest ever take-up rate for a new Apple OS. By the way, Apple's actually selling new OSes to people with existing computers. The only way Vista ends up in anyone's hands is if they mistakenly buy a new PC with it preloaded. The Windows admin on my team completely gave up Vista and switched back to XP. Care to explain how on earth Leopard has a hard time networking? My experience has been that it's Windows that positively sucks at networks. It can't find wireless networks half the time, the update rate is ridiculously slow for no reason, and why on earth does a netsh IP change command take 60 seconds?
I have, however, heard that Leopard is buggier than most new releases have been. I've got Tiger at home and Leopard at work; Leopard works just fine but I don't see a very compelling reason to upgrade at the moment. I have better things to do with my time than spend a few hours backing up my files, doing a clean install, then getting everything the way I like it again. If it ain't broke...
hey reid. I use OSX at least 8 hours a day at work.
They started to roll out leopard, but it caused crashes. tons of them. they rolled back to tiger. which is a problem in itself, because on intel macs, running rosetta chews up rediculous amounts of RAM.
So now my computer's got 4 gigs of RAM and still crashes.

10.5.2 is on the way...a new build was recently seeded.
Secondarily, why is Apple responsible for making third-party software work with their system?
i use the CS3 S all the time and have no problems at all

why is it that even with Macworld over, there's still more useless postings about apple products?
peternj you troll,
Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?
