I've been wondering about this, too...I have delayed upgrading Photoshop Elements until a UB version comes out. I have the very old v. PE 2.0 which I bought w/ my old PC and the installation disc from that version has both PC and Mac versions on it, so I deleted it from my old PC and put it on my new iMac. Can I assume that PE 2.0 will work with Leopard if it runs fine on my new aluminum iMac? If not, Adobe had better get PE 5 out soon.
Got a tip for us?

Adobe will probably release PE6 for Mac in the next few months.
Does Appleworks 6.2.9 still run in Leopard?

I'm surprised by this. I would thought companies owned by Apple might actually be the on ball in supporting Apple and the OS.
Well amen that's a big yawn for me except for SuperDuper!, which I've only ever used to do a drive upgrade. And that guy will have a compatible version out in like no time. SuperDuper! fans can always just use Time Machine in the interim for safety's sake.
Well, here is an alternative. Boot up to OSX (10.4 will work too) install disk. Open Disk Utility. Save disk as Disk Utility image.
Yep. SuperDuper! is just so one-step easy. For back-ups, people can use Backup if they have .mac. It's a minor deal until SuperDuper! gets fixed.
I really hope NicePlayer works because I love that app. Their project page seems very out of date, so I assume development is pretty much dead at the moment. It would be a real bummer if it didn't work, but maybe the new version of QuickTime included with Leopard will be a little nicer to use (not a big fan, I have to say).
I like VLC a lot, but I think it was responsible for two kernel panics I had a while back (the only two I've ever had), so I took it off. It was also quite buggy I found. But maybe it'll play nicer with Leopard on my machine.
iScroll2 won't work. This program enables two-finger scrolling capable machines (PPC powerbooks and ibooks) that Apple never released a firmware upgrade to enable. I'm going to miss this one a lot until the developer updates it

According to a Macworld article, there will be an Adobe Photoshop Elements released in 2008. The version number would be 6, skipping 5, to match with the Windows version. It also would be universal.

The latest release seems quite stable (previous versions did have a tendency to hang), but I've never had any version of VLC cause a kernel panic before, that seems quite unusual. The only stuff I've had cause kernel panics was things that directly plugged into the kernel (e.g. early betas of VMWare and Parallels).
I have had the latest version of VLC kernel panic my SR MBP. (Tiger) Im not saying its a regular thing since its only happened 2-3 times and I start/stop VLC daily but its definitely possible. Just something you notice since its pretty much the only time I reboot and its kinda annoying.
I got to say, I find the idea of VLC causing kernel panics to be quite unlikely. Are you sure its not a symptom of something else you have on your system that's being triggered by VLC maybe?
Not "out-of-the-box", but with an update coming.
I got this email some time ago, concerning a new version for cocktail for Leopard.
Nobody is upset that some of their programs are not going to be running or not recommended? I find it interesting that most of the community here pounced on vista trashing it because of some software issues similar to this.
It might be almost better to stick with 10.4 until some of these things are worked out in 10.5 no?

Good, glad you're going to be able to upgrade ASAP. If you look in the list you'll see that the SuperDuper! dev has confirmed an update will be out ASAP after Friday.
@contours: don't sweat it, I'm sure all these will be updated in short order. The reason I did the list was so hopefully no-one will get caught out on day 1 when they can't connect to their work's Exchange server with Groupcal, for example.
Did the community here do that? I've not followed talk about Vista on here because this is supposed to be a Mac site, not a Windows one.
Sure, that is always a good idea. Luckily I have enough Macs to be able to install Leopard on one of them to find out what the issues are before moving en mass to 10.5.
Older version of Transmission don't work, make sure to get 0.90. Mail Unread Bundle doesn't work (small % of people use it, even so, just noting it doesn't work). CS3 works fine.
