For any other people who refuse (like me) to stop using Fire, it crashes anytime you try to run it under Leopard.
Got a tip for us?

Apps that WON'T work on Leopard

Well, it doesn't run "really slow" but i noticed that it was a bit slower. It could have been because i had Safari and Mail in one "Space" and then iTunes in another and then Illustrator and PS in a 3rd and Vectorworks in the fourth.
And theeeeeeeennnnnnn????
Fire is one of those multiprotocol instant messenger applications. Some prefer it over Adium.
I can't seem to get Growl to work. I did a clean install and it won't show any apps messages.
Last.fm
When I turn on my computer, Last.fm starts up on its own, even though I didn't tell it to and it didn't do it before in Tiger. Last.fm is only to start by itself when iTunes opens. But now if Last.fm is closed and I open up iTunes, Last.fm doesn't open by itself.
And to top it off, it's really difficult to start it up. It's always unresponsive. So I consider Last.fm a dead app on Leopard.

Microsoft Office
Leopard and Office don't mix together. Upon upgrading lost all my network printer drivers. Reinstalled them so they work from FireFox.
However Office crashes (quits) when I try to print. Same happens when I try to print to PDF, which worked great before upgrade.
Also Visual Basic macros in my Excel sheets crash Mac version Excel but work great under Windows Excel.
After 3 months of struggles I am sorry I switched from Dell to MacBook Pro.

It is fairly common for programs to fail when upgrading from one version of OS X to a new version.
But, frequently it goes much smoother if you backup all your data files, e-mails, bookmarks, address book, etc.
Then, do a fresh install on a freshly formatted hard drive.
Then, re-install your programs from scratch (using their original installation disks).
Then, copy your data files, e-mails, bookmarks, address book, etc. back to the system.
I find that things are much smoother that way.
Yes, an upgrade install would be nicer. But, since it tends to have more issues, I usually go the long way.
Fortunately, major releases of OS X only come along every few years. I use it as an opportunity to clean-up my system and dump the garbage I forgot about.
No surprise there. That's all I've gotten out of it in Tiger as well. Tried multiple times on multiple days. Never anything other than error messages. Well, that's not entirely true. It did work a couple of days for about 2 or 3 minutes before throwing up the error messages.
I think Joost is just useless.
eyeTV VLC Remote Control
Apple's remote control does not work in eyeTV or VLC player, so my mac mini media centre it pretty much screwed.

Tried opening Adobe Indesign CS2 on my MacBook yesterday. Crashed on start-up. Several times. Also after a restart.
Opened just fine on my girlfriend's iBook, though, so I don't know if it's my machine or an Intel vs PPC thing...

Sorry, I should have noted that I'm talking about 2.2, which is the only binary version available for PowerPC (as far as I could find).
I thought that fire development was dead?

For VLC, check this link:

There is a post to a prerelease build of VLC that does work with the remote control.
The LetterBox plugin for Mail doesn't work and won't be developed (by original developer at least) on Leopard.
Also, Coconut Battery is saying that my MBP has only 7 cycles while System Profiler and iStatPro have the correct number at 32.
I don't think that my NuLooq drivers are working, but haven't really tested them out. And this probably means my Harmony Remote software won't work right away.
Ahh...the joys of a new OS.

I'm having the same problem with the crop tool malfunctioning after two crops. The height box seems to randomly switch from inches to pixels and doesn't accept the numbers that are typed in. Anyone know how to fix this?
