Macro recording in automator is great.
Many OSX text editors lack such a basic feature that you would find in many windows text editors. I could use regex instead of macro recording ( to achieve the same affect ) , but I can never remember the expressions ( apart from a few basic ). Thus, I'd use this in a second. ( I know Text Mate has macro recording, but it doesn't have much functionality - I prefer BBEdit - more functionality but crap interface )
And yes, responding to another previous post, Tiger was riddled with bugs. Hopefully Apple will take time for a better 10.5.0 release.
The share point like functionality is also a welcome addition.

At this rate Vista will be stable enough to run life support systems before Leopard is announced.
Vista could have their next os out before apple releases leopard at this point
forgive me if I agree with him...
OK A) no way will MICROSOFT have there next vista verssion before Apple, and B) Apple said spring, its not spring yet, there is also three months of spring, of which we are not in yet. C) just be patient, even if microsoft does somehowhave there next vista version out (which they wont) Leopard is still gunna be way better
haven't they been saying it will be released in spring for ages? ... hasn't spring only just begun for you guys??
I'm not wearing a coat to work anymore. Therefore, I declare that it is in fact spring.
Therefore, I am impatient for Leopard/Widescreen iPods/New Macs/Pro-Baseball/Etc.
i never wear a coat anywhere, therefor i could declare anydayspring that i wanted to, but that doesnt make it so. my guess is no new ipod till after the iphone, and new macs fairly soon. but leopard is a spring release and since spring is 3 months long, and wever yet to enter the first part of spring, i would calm down and wait just like eveorny else has too, sept the devs.
Agreed-- I'm getting nervous they may push this out prematurely. I know myself, I'll upgrade immediately and I don't want to suffer through the bugs. Better for Apple to force me to wait than to trust myself.
I like what I'm seeing so far-- Spotlight is becoming more usable, Automator is taking its rightful place as the Script Editor replacement, TimeMachine is going to make my life much more secure... I've already discounted the "top secret" features as hype-- they won't amount to much in my opinion, and I'm not bothered by that. What I see so far is enough for me.
Just make it stable. That's all I have left to ask for.
I never knew you could do that! I've been setting automounts in NetInfo Manager... I'll have to try using the login items. What happens if the mount point isn't there?
While all the listed improvements sound nice, I feel like I'm seeing the list of new stuff for 10.4.9

Just sold my G5 Dual last night in readiness for the rumored early arrival of the spotty cat.
"Watch me do", very remeniscent of the Apple Corps "Love Me Do" and therefore very appropriate!
Yes, I want My OS X 10.5 but Yes I want it as Stable as possible, Can I wait, Looks like I'm gonna Have to.

I wholeheartedly agree, but now that I'll be getting rid of my PC and running on just the Mac (with Parallels for a couple of Win and OS/2 things) I no longer need it. Too little too late in this case. I wonder if they'll also finally make it easier to automatically mount shares from other computers, but again I won't care since I won't have a second computer anymore (where was this stuff 2 years ago?).

what are you using now?
Haha... Tiger was riddled with bugs weeks after launch.
I think they're trying to avoid that this time.
I also agree with the statements that the UI is sort of ugly mixing iTunes with Aqua... I really hate the iTunes look alone but it looks out of place mixed in with Aqua. And the all caps dividers are really annoying.
In addition to new features/eye candy and stability, I hope they're working hard on security. 10.5 needs to be the most secure OS X yet. I have a feeling that we're on borrowed time as far as exploits go - recent bumps in market share are making the Mac more of a target.
Have I missed something?
Where are the SECRET NEW features that Jobs hinted at. The ones he said he wouldn't reveal to avoid the photocopiers starting. Vista is out so why hide them now?
Surely brand new features need developer testing too.
