Are you planning on upgrading to Leopard?

[iMacZealot]

Well, are you?

I probably won't unless if Apple releases Final Cut Studio and if it requires Leopard. I don't see that much it'll get me. The only feature I'd use is Mail.

 

[Chundles]

Yep, the day it arrives, with a full clean install and hopefully at the same time as I max out my RAM.

With Bells On • I'll Be At The Palo Alto Store

No doubt. I'll pre-order and be at the Palo Alto Store first in line friday afternoon just for the party. 😀

I don't think I'll have much of a choice. I do plan of buying the next Mac Pro and it'll come pre-installed.

True Dat as well. But I want to put it on my Quad, Dual Core G5s & Old PowerBook G4 on day one just for old times sake. 😀

Yeah, I probably won't unless if FCS 6 requires it, but if not, I'll probably wait until I buy a Mac Pro, too.

For $99 from Amazon, yes!

I tend to recommend every other or every 3rd upgrade for software--saves a lot of $, and if the "old" version does the job, then it can keep on doing it. But in the case of my OS, it touches everything I do, and it's worth every upgrade to me. And the zillion "little things" can actually add up to more value for me than the headline features.

 

[bartelby]

I missed Tiger so I'll definitely get Leopard.

 

[siurpeeman]

not as excited as i was for tiger, but i'm still gonna grab a copy on the first day.

 

[erikamsterdam]

Just to be ahead of the PC/Vista crowd again 😀

 

[suneohair]

$69. Oh yeah.

 

[Catfish_Man]

Xcode 3/IB3/Xray, new APIs, spotlight improvements, speed improvements... count me in.

 

[eluk]

Like Spicyapple I intend getting a Mac Pro and will almost certainly get a copy for my MacBook Pro.

 

[Zmmyt]

I'm really looking forward to spaces. With my 12'' PB I already tried other virtual desktop solutions, but none of them convinced me.

Don't know when I'll be upgrading.

 

[DeSnousa]

I was the poor sucker who said if I have money. When your a student saving up for trip at the end of the year, you don't get much choices 🙁

 

[AdeFowler]

I love OS updates so I'll definitely buy it on day one. I do hope it has a new Finder 😱

 

[MacsAttack]

From the preview last year, Leopard has a number of features that I want to be using.

1. Improved spotlight. A lot of my research material exists in PDF format. Spotlight has already been an invaluable tool. Improvemnts are just going to make it that much better.

2. Spaces. The ability to group apps into different screens will help in my current workflow.

3. Time Machine. Yes - I've got automated backup at the moment, but this is intigrated much better into the OS. I'm planning on tossing a third disk into my Mac Pro for this.

4. Improved speech synth. Getting the Mac to read back text is a fantastic way to edit. Helps pick up gramatical errors and give a far better idea of how what has been written will read. The improved synth will be a big plus - probably the main selling point for me in fact.

5. Mail improvements - the To-Do intigration looks like a feature I'll be using lots.

Everything else is gravy. Optimisation of the new intel Macs. 64 bit support. Core animation. An improved finder (please for gods sake an improved finder).

Now if only Apple would release iWork 07, I could ditch Word and wave good-by to MicroSoft forever 😉

As I have three Macs in the house - I'll be after the Leopard family pack whenever it becomes available.

 

[daneoni]

I'll probably get one when i decide to upgrade computers BUT i don't see myself buying a standalone retail version. just not that excited.

 

[blakbyrd]

"Probably, but I'll have to take a look at it when it's released first."

When I learn more about Leopard's features, and if I find them worth it, then yes. 😎

 

[GoKyu]

As a few others have said, since I'll be getting my first Mac, I'll certainly make sure Leopard is pre-installed 🙂

[xUKHCx]

I'll preorder it as soon as possible and may even go to the apple store nearby on the release day.

 

[hollerz]

definitely, the day it comes out. i love OS upgrades! 😀

 

[miniConvert]

I wont waste a heartbeat between the time it comes out and the moment I order my 10 copies. Does the server version usually come out at the same time?

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Seems like the tendency is pretty much the same as when this was a MacPoll... except this poll lacks the essential "Will buy a Mac with Leopard pre-installed" option...

BTW: I voted "Definitively!", jsut as I voted "Yes, will buy it right away" in the original poll.

 

[Eraserhead]

Definitely I can't wait for Time Machine! The ability to never delete a file again sounds really cool, (now if only it had .Mac integration (for remote backup) and .Mac was sensibly priced)

 

[Foxglove9]

I have no plans to upgrade my current system to leopard. However I plan on buying a new mac in the next 4-12 months, which will come with Leopard already on it.
