I am confused, however, about why 10.5 took so long to come. It seems to be an anemic upgrade overall. Perhaps iPhone and the big secret project took/are taking up a ton of resources...

Maybe because you're not looking at the REALLY cool stuff?

http://developer.apple.com/leopard/

Read the stuff in the Leopard Tech Series on the right. It's all the under the hood changes and changes for developers that have been taking a long time, and to be frank are what makes Leopard the most important release of OS X since 10.0
 
A few comments about the screen shots...minor quibbles...

* The traffic light redesign are a little too loud. They need to be more muted.

* The dock preference pane icon in System Prefs doesn't look too good.

* Some of the other icons in System Prefs, like .Mac and Network look dated and need a flatter treatment.
 
Installation now shows wallpaper too, but the grass one. So now we have 3 diffrent wallpapers set as default: grass during installation, space on desktop and the old aqua wallpaper with login window. oO

Hey, what's the "duck" application?

Oh, and how are the traffic lights different? I'm using Leopard 9A500N, the Aqua red yellow green lights seem the same in comparison... What I did notice were the changes in System Properties. The Display is finally the newer Cinema Displays, Appearance and Desktop & Screen Saver are different as well as the Sharing icon...

It bothers me when people have PATHETIC screenshot taking skills while ignoring clutter or things that take away from the viewing experience. (Ex. mutiple open windows open that touch the edge of the screen, icons on desktop unarranged, horrible Audium theme, GAHH!!! I mean if you're gonna take screenshots for the masses, at least do so tastefully! Especially when it comes to Leopard...

Sorry about that Lermex, but your tacky screen grabbing skills just PEEVES the artistic perfectionist in me. Anyway, thanks very much for posting the first screenies, albeit hastily. :D
