Problems with Mac OS 5.0.1?

I too do not understand what the trouble people are having with 10.5 or 10.5.1. I have been using 10.5.1 on my Mac Mini since it came out, with no trouble at all.. I do have some problems with some old software working on 10.5, but that's okay. The software hasn't been updated since 10.3.9.

My MacBook came with 10.5 pre-installed and haven't any problems with it either. What is it you guys are doing to get your copy to crash?

I'm surprised by so many people having issues with leopard. I made a fresh install from day 1 and haven't looked back to tiger once. everything in leopard was snappier (spotlight, apps, etc.) and features like quicklook, spaces and time-machine are things i can't be without anymore.

However i hope the 10.5.2 update arrives soon. Some stability and other improvements never hurt.
 
I have 25 Leopard Macs deployed in my department without a single issue. I come here and we have users that have moved back to Tiger or are having too many issues with 10.5.1.

I wonder what I'm doing wrong...
 
I found a Leopard flaw on my Macbook :(

On this C2D Macbook, Address book won't let me add pictures to contacts, whether I'm trying to drag or take a picture from inside the app...

Not using certain features or configurations.

Photoshop has never crashed for me. Mostly because I've never used it.

That feature works fine for me, I drag it in, it asks me what region of the picture I want and it's there.

Have you tried using any other pictures?

Many, with many different contacts. I did it fine in Tiger, but can't do it now...

Agreed, the only time I've had a problem with Leopard was when I had installed a piece of bad software which messed up some things, that's all fixed, and all is fine.

This is probably true since I've only upgraded 2 or 3 of these Macs. There rest of them have been imaged.
 
I had a few hiccups with Leopard, but then I backed up all my files and did an "Erase and Install" and wiped the slate clean. Every since then, I haven't run across any issues. *keeping fingers crossed*

Still looking foward to 10.5.2 though! :)
 
I have shutdown issues with Leopard that I'm patiently waiting on .5.2 for. That .5.1 started creating, and the worst part was I had to install .5.1 for the SMB windows sharing fixes.

I seem to have the worst of two evils. Stick to 10.5, and suffer no workable windows shares and clean shutdowns.

Or stay with .5.1, have working window shares but suffer the shutdown hangs where it ramps up the fans.
