Leopard - safe to install from day 1?

[stimpycat]

Hi - I am new to Macs and have read all the great things about Leopard. Is it safe to buy and install this from day one? I assume it's been tested with popular apps like the Adobe Suite / Word etc?

Depends how you mean by 'safe'

Yes, popular apps should work fine. Bugs there will be, plentiful no doubt. It's all the romance of a major update though.
