then why does the same cards run just fine in Leopard on a G5 system and get a boot hang for 2 - 6 minutes on a G4.
also why does the same cards run just fine in Tiger on a G4
Got a tip for us?

I second that, where is that super functionality gone to ,damn .

It's "gone" to the iPhone I suspect.
I loved that feature too, it was really handy if I needed to send text reaaally fast..
I've got to admit, Leopard has been slightly shaky for me.. Initially it was crashtastic.. kernel panics all over the place. It settled pretty fast and now I only have a full blown system freeze (where everything locks up other than the mouse) every couple of days.. Thats on my G5 anyway.. It's perfect on my Macbook (literally *no* issues).. A lot of the things .1 seems to be addressing seem promising as fixes for my G5's weird behaviour.. Here's hoping..
Oh, and weirdly my flashed 9800Pro has got much *more* reliable under leopard. There were certain core image tasks that replicatably froze the system under Tiger.. Now the same tasks don't anymore.. The current UI freezes I get seem to be related to USB storage.. Which is a pain as my TM drive is USB, queue huge indexing times with increased chance of hangs.. Wah. I'm really happy with Leopard sofar anyway.. Occasional hangs are worth it for the speed. Can't wait for .1 to see if it helps at all.
I am no expert on this and I don't doubt that you could be right. So you are saying Apple coded Leopard intentionally to cause this problem on G4 hardware but not G5 hardware? Just seems unlikely to me. Not impossible. And their motive would be to force G4 hardware that had been upgraded to maximize performance and lengthen usable life to buy new Apple machines? I suppose to offset the number of people who upgraded to Leopard and gained performance, features, etc. rather than purchasing new machines? The number of Apple G4 buyers who upgraded their video card is probably lower by a couple magnitudes than even the number of potential Mac Pro mini potential buyers. Seems too devious and potentially self-destructive to go to all that trouble and cause themselves more support headaches.
Considering Apple's programmers DELETE files before it is safely written during a move operation that encountered exceptions... think again.
I have none of your mentioned problems, but have these two important ones:
1. Safari crashes (freezes) quite often. Must force-quit and send report to apple
2. Front row stops playing when navigating away from music section or leaving FR. In Tiger it would keep playing in iTunes. FR also forgets what was playing and at what position. Very inconvenient if I want to leave FR to quickly check a Skype message for example
As for Time Machine and AirDisk - I think wireless is too slow and unreliable for now.
Peace!

Hopefully they will fix the printing issue (I can't print anymore to Windows network printers and Bonjour printers) and that they fix the Airport issues and the bugs related to Spaces. Menubar shown in the Spaces mode when you activate it during Quicktime Full Screen playback. Of course, also fixing the screenshot functionality which is currently broken will be nice too.
what are you talking about, screenshots isn't broken , command+shift+3 to take a full screenshot, command+shift+4 to select what you want to take a screenshot of (AKA drag the pointer over what you want to take a screenshot of).
works just fine for me
this was taken using command+shift+4
or was you talking about taking screen grabs from a playing movie
I mean making screenshots by using the Apple-Shift-3 it then makes the Sound for the screenshot. But no images on the Desktop, Documents or Pictures folder. Not working... Full reinstall of MacOSX Leopard earlier.
If I look on the desktop I see this:

Updates are all good.
Judging from the chat in this thread I've been really lucky. 10.5.0 has been stable and fast for me and has sorted the slow WiFi speeds I've had since the first OS update my MacBook had. I've tried all of the apps I use and haven't had any probs.
But the more this OS matures, it can only get better

*shrugs* The last article I replied to on Digg was relating to GIMP; I certainly haven't had any arguments with anyone on digg as I tend to hang out more here, Appleinsider and arstechnica.
You can't get a developer seed without either being under an NDA, or someone breaching their NDA. Either way, it is completely unethical and if Apple hangs them up by their ****s that's fine with me. I don't want anything that gives Apple reasons to make it harder for developers to get these seeds.
You should also remember that this is a trade secret violation, which is a criminal offence, whether you are under NDA or not.
Too right!! I keep the AEBS agent running in the hopes that it will one day suggest updating to something other than 7.2.1. 7.2 works, but I still have to reset (read: take disk out, connect to MB, mount, then unmount, plug it back in AEBS, pray it will last..... it never does) the disk.
I haven't even attempted the TM workaround to make it work on Airdisk. It's just not worth it.
How long have we been stuck with 7.2.1 anyway? Seems like forever
I made a test install on my iBook, which is only used to serve media. Everything went well. Then installed on the MB. For a dotzero release I'm very impressed.
What's really nice, is that I took a bunch of source-code from our production Solaris box, took out all the platform specific stuff in the headers, and compiled. After waiting for a while (approx. 4 cups of coffee), NO ERRORS. I mean none, not even a warning.
Called my boss in, started the program up..... End result? We've set up a group to talk to apple and set up an enterprise purchasing program!
This has NEVER been possible before on OSX!!. I predict that our development division will be running on M((B(P))/Pros)/XServes within 3 years. Well, maybe that's a bit optimistic, but....
Yeah, the interface is new and shiny, but the UNIX certification is what really does it for me. They've done a fantastic job with the under-the-hood stuff.
You don't and you wouldn't want it. Really. Beta Versions of Patches for an existing bug. Doesn't sound like a good thing to have... People who use these developer versions normally don't have important information on their boxes and are confortable doing a clean whipe and reinstall if it doesn't work and can't undo. Many times the fix is worse then the actual bug. That is why it is tested.
Holy Shmoley..... You guys are all noobs to computers if your really that upset about Leopard...
Very upseting to see complaints when there should be no complaints about a perfectly fine upgrade.
iChat can send SMS now. So it hasn't left completely and it hasn't just been given to the iPhone.
Yes... Apple designed their app this way. I Think they actually had 6... no wait... 7 highly paid software designers have a meeting about this actually. They actually agreed that, they wanted Mac OS X to delete files without a succesful copy.
YOUR AN MORON! This is BUG, not a FEATURE. It wasn't 'programmed' that way on purpose!
As a registered dev myself with 10.5.1.... as far as i can see you have violated the NDA.
Not quite sure why you said that not only for the fact that Safari has some issues of its own...
Oh go away already. Since when did so many Macrumors users get all preachy and high and mighty, its gettin fricken annoying...
