Thank you for this gem. Most people chose the simple UPGRADE option to install Leopard. It is impossible for Apple to know what hardware, software, and system configurations you have running. Which is why in the installation manual they recommend choosing ERASE AND INSTALL or ARCHIVE AND INSTALL. Hey, but who reads anything these days. I chose the ease method which meant I had to spend time installing previous apps and loading files, but I've never had one problem with Leopard on any of my machines.
Got a tip for us?

Does anyone know how long it took for Apple to release 10.5.2. since the first seed to developers? It would be interesting to know approximately what we are talking about here regarding the wait (and yes, I know that it cannot be completely compared..)
Behold the power of Google guys....and wikipedia.
And in answer to the actual question
10.5.2 was first reported on MacRumors on 18th December 2007
and released 11th Feburary 2008
So just under 2 months.
I think we've already passed the 75-bug mark in the thread. I'm guessing at least a few of you will be disappointed. Personally, I've had more issues with Leopard than with Tiger, but certainly not enough to make me want to downgrade.
I think most people are less desperate for .3 than they were for .2, so it hopefully won't be that bad.
I agree with you psychofreak - I think that .2 was badly needed, and solved many problems for a lot of people. I know there are still people who have issues, and will be eagerly awaiting .3, but I think the numbers are a lot less.
To be honest due to the way OS X works, an Archive and Install is pretty much as good as an Erase and Install, except that you don't have to reinstall your applications/files. Though an erase and install does reduce the possibility of slowdowns due to disk fragmentation.
Yeah, because Apple offers hundreds of different models, they are amazing that way; they are not like Dell who just offer the Dell mini, the iDell and the Dell Pro.
Havn't read all the way through this post but i bet it's something similar to just before .2 was released
and is just one big wish list personally i think this would be better http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Forget about Snappier Safari - would it be too much to ask to make it work with Hotmail?
How about making Hotmail work with Safari, the most standards-compliant browser out there?
1- there is a trail of bitmaps that follows my mouse pointer everywhere it goes, it's extremely distracting. The problem disappeared with one update that came between 1.5.0 and 1.5.1, and which wasn't advertised as fixing this issue. Now that I've gone to 1.5.2 the problem is back.
This could be caused by defective RAM. Try running Ramtest.
I'd like to see my macbook not freeze up anymore. I can get up and walk away for a minute, come back and mouse/keyboard will not work (programs running will work) and for mail not to be so sluggish.
I think your Right I am very happy already with 10.5.2 so this is just going to make things better.
On another note there is still some issues with stability and WiFi so this update will hopefully put these issues to bed.
Thanks for the Option+Shift small adjustment tip; I didn't even know that existed for volume control
Google Calendar and Gmail contact sync with iCal and Address Book
I would personally like to see two things "fixed" or at least have support added for them. Obviously, Google is probably the number one site on the Internet or at least one of them. Therefore, most people (or at least a HUGE amount of people) use it on a constant basis. A lot of people also use Google services such as Google Calendar and Gmail e-mail. I would love to see bi-directional Google Calendar support built into iCal (no 3rd party app/tools required) and I would love to see Address Book support sync (bi directional) with G-mail's contacts (again, no 3rd party software required). Full support for both of these in Leopard 10.5.3 would be a godsend.

you know this stuff doesn't really help unless you send it to Apple.... why the need to waste board space and bandwidth posting the whining and wishlists here?
