Here are some details... Wow, I'm so excited about this! hehehe What do you do when you reach enlightenment? Keep going. Mac OS X Tiger was ahead of its time in 2005. But that didn’t stop Apple engineers from moving forward. Get a glimpse of the not-so-distant future. Introducing Mac OS X Leopard. Use it, never lose it New in Leopard, Time Machine takes you beyond the backup. An automated system that regularly backs up everything on your Mac — music, photos, movies, documents — Time Machine also takes you back in time to restore your system. Enter Time Machine’s browser and look for files you may have deleted or lost, flip through multiple versions of the same project, or get a snapshot of your entire system from day one. Get the message Set your email to stun with Mail 3 in Leopard. Create amazing invitations, letters, travelogues, and more — complete with photos and graphics — using new Stationery templates. Just choose your template, then use the built-in Media Browser to drag in your photos and more. And when those RSVPs start filling your inbox, you’ll stay organized with new Notes and To-Dos you can access from any Mac or PC. Plus, security enhancements including anti-phishing protection in Mail and Safari make Leopard the safest Mac OS for all your communications. Show and tell iChat gets a double dose of fun and functionality in Leopard. Chat from virtually everywhere with video backdrops. Create a video alter-ego in iChat using fun effects from Photo Booth, built into Leopard. Set up an iChat Theatre session to put on a virtual slideshow or Keynote presentation. Or Initiate Screen Sharing and take control of a friend or colleague’s display. Enjoy the view Leopard improves the way you manage and access information on your Mac. For starters, with Spaces, you can organize your windows into different groups — work, play, communication, creation — and move between them all with ease. Spaces gives you a one-click bird’s eye view of every project. Plus, Dashboard adds new widgets that make life on the Web a one-click affair. Want to build your own Dashboard widgets? Dashcode gets your widgets running in minutes — even if you’ve never written a line of code. Shine a light Spotlight for Leopard introduces searching across network-mounted folders, so you can find what you need on more than one Mac. And with more powerful, flexible search options, Spotlight gives you more ways to find everything on your desktop — and beyond. Get ready, get set, get Leopard All these features and more are delivered to you in one universal, fully accessible, 64-bit operating system. Coming spring 2007. All features referenced in the Mac OS X Leopard

Honestly, I don't think I'll be upgrading to that. None of the "new" things appeal to me. The "Spaces" thing seems to be stolen from the Linux "workspace" feature, which I've already emulated with another program on my Mac. Everything else seems the same to me.

I am so excited about Leopard! I want to buy a new computer just to run it on. I want a MacBook Pro. I'll probably wait a year to get one though.

i don't think so... Mac's GUI is better than Linux's.. hehehe I like mac... hehehe 
*cough* XGL. As far as usability goes, thats merely opinions, no OS (DE/WM) is better than another. As far as eye candy, XGL currently reigns supreme. As for leopard, I wont even consider gdetting it. I hated tiger. It wasnt worth it. I like panther best out of the 10.x.x series of MAC OS's. There isnt so much useless shit bogging it down. 
Really? Panther? I have panther on the iMac beside me, and there are few differences between it and this macbook running tiger. The only main difference is the dashboard, some programs, and this one is way faster.
------- In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

I don't like linux. And I wouldn't run linux just for spaces. By the way, get a clue, Creative sued Apple first, creative claims apple stole there software design of the zen. Apparently, your not allowed to catagorize your music my Artist, Playlist, and Genre . By the way, Apple promotes that it is built of linux. Mircrosoft is denying how much they ripped of OS X. So, microsoft has ripped off Linux and OS X. Linux is obscure and buggy at best. And OS X is kind of based on Linux, AND Apple promotes that fact. So be quite.

I have an iBook. The installation process is pretty much the same. After installation, on a completely fresh system, the OS X application monitor shows almost the same exact processes, memory usage, cpu usage, etc. For some reason, when I try to do higher end tasks its much much slower and spotty on tiger. Granted an iBook is a little older when it comes to hardware, but similar task should run the same if everything is as the system monitor says.
