Same here. The Airport driver keeps causing my MacBook Pro to KP. 🙁 They fixed the bug in the Airport driver that had caused my computer to KP on boot with 10.4.10, but introduced another bug that causes the computer to randomly KP when there is a lot of network activity.
I, too, am most excited about being able to finally organize the /Applications folder the way I want to (without having to drag apps out when I want to update them).

setting the desktop background to a medium grey not only cleans up the busyness, but it also gives a nice solid, non-transparent look to the menubar...

I haven't had anything catastrophic happen with Leopard, but there are some annoyances. Having to force-relaunch finder periodically so I can eject volumes is a bummer. I think I finally squashed the creeping "group:everyone deny delete" ACL issue, but it apparently marked all my files as touched and freaked out Time Machine. Spotlight seems to crash and restart on occasion. PubSubAgent needs to be put up against a wall and shot.
Stuff like that.

Somebody probably just made the connection that Spotlight makes this much easier...
Anyone know if they've fixed the transparent men bar on everything else bug?

I wish *my* computer's graphics card didn't support the transparent menu bar... it just figures that's the one thing that the GMA 950 *can* do. 🙄
Anyway, looking forward to the update. They really need to do something about the "back to my mac" feature, because that would be a really cool trick... you know, if it actually worked.
It would be really nice if they had a setting where you could adjust the opacity of the menu bar. That way, those who wanted it could keep it, and those who don't could just turn it off. Plus, you could adjust the level of transparency to adapt to the desktop picture.

I wonder if its just me, but I find safari really buggy. Maybe 10.5.1 will help me there somewhere. I doubt it though. Apart from that I have no problems with leopard.
Besides giving us more options with "stacks" please address the Photoshop CS3 bug. I can't manually resize an image (IE: 100% to 94%) anymore, especially on the Height Field.
More Adobe's issue, but I'll complain all I want thank you very much.

Yes. It looks great in my opinion, and the bizarre grey apple symbol at the top left on my 12" powerbook at the moment looks horrible. If not transparent then can we please have the pre-Leopard blue apple back?
The translucent bar looks great in my opinion as well; I don't know what the hell is all this fuzz about the menu bar...it's almost a non-issue for any normal user out there.
After using Safari 3 beta since release, Safari's stability is awesome, even if it does crash sometimes...

That's half the problem. Apple tries to make this adjustment automagically. It works great for constant tone images, but I've got one of a bright sky bordered by dark trees on either side and Leopard can't find the right value. Can't read anything in the trees...
Changed to a night shot and everything works well enough.
With more tweaking, Apple might be able to be smart enough to automate the setting, but in the meantime, give me a slider-- or at least a checkbox.

Yes (for PPC users).
And we also want Safari 3 final for Tiger users. Come on Apple, we're your biggest customer base. Out with 10.4.11 already!

I love quotes like this... So reassuring to know I'm not normal. Sometimes I feel like I'm falling into conformity, then I realize: the menu bar is an issue for me! I'm an individual!
It looks MUCH better than Tiger with some backgrounds, however its rubbish for the majority...
Well given this is the first time I've switched on my new MacBook Pro, even though I've got the Leopard upgrade disc, I won't be installing it until I read Apple have sorted out some of the reported problems thus far. Having been without a Mac for a couple of months since selling my iMac, I'm not willing to bork this machine just for the sake of installing Leopard.
Fingers crossed they fix the airport driver issue that causes kernel panics. I have had to resort to going wired on my MBP otherwise it blows up within 5 mins-2 hours of me starting any torrent client.
It's definitely an issue if the transparency makes it harder to read the menu text.
It would be an easy fix, apple just needs to add a preference to either turn it off, or adjust the amount of transparency.

That's why my Airport Extreme Base Station went back unopened to Apple today.
i just hope they get the real fixes out quickly even if it means delays for some of the changes. overall leopard is great but where i live is a big college where leopard is unusable with campus internet because of leopards missing code on 802.1x. so you can guess how many people are lining up to make the switch to apple knowing that :\ even if the actual os shows up vista. seems like there are several missing part issues that are instant kills for some groups of users or whole locations in my case, fixing these should be a huge priority for apple who overall seems to be receiving good marks on leopard.
