WITH 10.4.11 CONSTANTLY BEING READY TO RELEASE "ANY MOMENT" since August, I cant imagine what more they could do.
It will fix a couple small bugs I have.

Sounding like Leopard is a near beta disaster for a larger than normal number of people and some unforgivable software/architecture goofs, Ill wait until 10.5.2

thats definitely a good idea :)
i wasted 2 days doing a manual clean install after the leopard archive &install got things all messed up.then i tried and tried to like it but leopard currently SUCKS in my opinion
horribly bug ridden,some idiotic 'features' like stacks [OMFG apple wtf?!],did i say bugs?after those 2 days of installing and another 2 trying to convince myself that there really was something worthwhile in leopard and i could eventually overlook some of the idiotic UI decisions,i reinstalled tiger.
Im now back in tiger until some major leopard updates come out and praying that stacks go away forever.A preference to turn off the near-invisible menu bar would be NICE to have also for those of us with less than perfect vision and or those that prefer other desktop backgrounds than the stock one,though even that one looks like you know what and is hard to read

summary = i would not upgrade until the bugs are fixed and hopefully the entire leopard graphics department is fired.i say it again,Apple,WTF?!?!! :confused::confused:

SuperDuper is far from history. Have fun waiting for hours while Time Machine restores to a new drive, while I simply boot from my SuperDuper backup.

I backed up my system using Time Machine yesterday.Today I installed a new Hard Drive in bay 1 of my Mac Pro.Stuck in the Leopard DVD.Rebooted and restored from the Time Machine backup.Took 35 minutes.

Howdy ya'll,

I'm a first timer here, that being said... Is there anyone else that would like to see Time Machine support External Hard Disk Drives connected to an Airpot Base Station or is that just me? :eek:

That was one of the funny things, now that you mention it. It never asked me how I wanted to do the install; it did it as an upgrade-in-place all on its own.

I was waiting to be prompted or asked but that never happened. It did give me the "customize" options for languages and such, but I believe that was the only thing it asked.

Thought about doing a bare drive install but ran out of time to redo it. By the time I have time again after the holiday, the point release might be out so I'll just wait and see. Tiger has been plenty good to me so I can happily wait for Leopard a little longer.

It was there. I did enough installs over the last couple weeks and its always been there. Its in the screen where you choose the drive.

Many of us. But its requires an Airport firmware update.

No, the people who don't get the transparent menubar are people who have machines with graphics cards with the words "GeForce" and "5200" in them. I have a 1.8Ghz Dual G5 that clearly has the horsepower and graphics capability to do menubar transparency (after all, it does menu transparency!) that has the solid grey menubar.

This is a bug, its got nothing to do with "not having a powerful enough graphics card". There isn't a Mac available that officially supports Leopard who's GFX card can't do a simple transparency/blur on a static background.

I dont follow. We seem to be saying the same thing (its a bug), and yet somehow you are disagreeing with me? And I never mentioned anything about Graphics cards in my post either :confused:

In less than a week from the last developer seed, Apple has released another version of Mac OS X 10.5.1 to developers for testing.

The latest 10.5.1 seed (9B16) has "no known issues" but lists only a few updates since the previous build. These include updating applications even if moved out of /Applications, moving files to a different directory in Finder bug fix, and DNS resolution fixes. The update is not yet available to the general public.

10.5.1 represents the first maintenance release to Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) since its release only 3 weeks ago. While accelerated developer seeds traditionally indicate that Apple is approaching release, Apple's has yet to release the Mac OS X 10.4.11 update that has long been expected.

This is good news and all but I'm a little disappointed more doesn't seem to be happening with the 10.4.11 update :(
 
i'm a ppc user and i was little worried about upgrading to leopard. every time i visit this forums i see ppl complaining, arguing and whipping about bugs and instability, but i've recently upgraded to leopard. it seems much more solid, and about 30% faster on my ppc machine (PB 1,66ghz, 1gb ram). all my previously installed apps work great. although the dock is ugly, the stacks are useless and the menu bar is visual inconsistent. i had huge huge probs with my Ethernet. LAG LAG LAG... sometimes expose don't recognize the app i want to bring to front. i had sound probs also, where no output device was recognized. :eek:, quick look disappearing while navigating to the system preferences it's kinda confusing as well. in the finder, i still think the arrows of the top buttons are not well aligned in the center of the button. the same with all the other buttons. the aqua scrolls don't fit anymore. visually the system is a bit messy, but i recognize some efforts here. until now, i didn't have any system or app crash. the beachballs are still present, but less often. so i'm expecting to see a lots of improvements.

i dont' know if we can do it now, but i would like the ability to reduce the size (proportionally) of a widget to 50% or whatever. 'cause webclip for me is useless. all my "webcliped" widgets take a massive dashboard space...

i'm hungry, let's eat 10.5.1! :D
 
10.4.11 is available!
