I want to be able to move several events to another day or time, and since there's no "shift event times" feature, I want to at least be able to cut and paste them and remain in their original calendar! This happens every time there is a change in a day's schedule where several events have to happen sequentially.
For instance, let's say this is my typical monday schedule
9 am - 12 noon: economics class (classes calendar)
12 noon - 1 pm: lunch (misc. calendar)
1 pm - 2 pm: study group meeting (school work calendar)
2 pm - 3 pm: mud pie making 101 (classes calendar)
Then because of a holiday, the school makes tuesday November 17th follow a monday schedule. But there is NO way to move more than one event to another day or time! And if you try to cut and paste then all the events lose their calendar assignments! That is TOTALLY not the way cut and paste is supposed to work! The whole concept of cut and paste is that you can cut information from one place and paste it in a different place and have it be exactly as it was when you cut it out.
That's just 1 example of when "shift event times" is desperately called for, and there's a zillion others. If I wake up an hour late on a day when I'm doing errands then most of my day has to get shifted an hour later, but there's no way to do that. If a client decides to change a meeting time and there are a whole sequence of events that can't happen until you meet with him, then you have to shift the meeting time and all the events that come after it to a different time or day, but there's no way to do that. This ability is SORELY needed in iCal, but I guess actual usability is too unsexy for Apple to care about these days. Do I sound a bit peeved? Good, because I am.
What is with all the pop up warning on safari. Warning you have tabs open do you want to quit? Warning, you have text if field do you want to quit? You know what? I don't press apple-q on accident, in fact I'd say you'd have to do that on purpose. All these pop-up and confirms, well I fear it's become more windows like if you will. Pretty soon no one will read the things. I sure hope you can turn the things off, or hope they change it.
For those who remember, when apple had an early release or beta of OS X, they put the apple logo right in the middle of the top bar, not to mention it did nothing and was completely non functional. Glad they didn't go with that. I'm hoping they do away with these confirm buttons
Can't an OS be simple to use anymore?

You can turn off those confirmations if you like, but I for one will be very glad they're there. An accidental slip of the fingers has cost me a good bit of time in the past because I closed a web form I was working on. If Safari had caught that I was still filling it out and didn't necessarily want to close the page yet, it could have saved me a lot of trouble.

Safari needs to integrate Saft's features natively. Then NO ONE could complain about its functionality.

I welcome the pop up warning. I constantly open and close windows in tabs and what-not, and cmd-w and dangerously close to cmd-q. I've accidently hit it before, closing something like 15 tabs that I wanted to keep open. Maybe there will be a way for you to turn it off if you feel as if you don't need it.
Taking a good look at Leopard and what's on Tiger, I think that the majority of changes are either evolutionary or not really that exciting. /yawn

Well, at least with the new iChat features people MIGHT actually start using iChat instead of Adium. Maybe?

Oh yeah, forgot about iChat.
The remote desktops feature is neat. But I'm guessing that it'll only work Mac-to-Mac? Can still put it to good use, but still - for going 10.4 to 10.5, I feel as if Leopard has its uses but is underwhelming in the end.
You're not excited about time machine? Seems like a killer app to me. I've never seen a backup system that looked better implemented. For the huge number of us who don't have a backup system in place but know that we should, that alone makes Leopard worth the price of admission.

Latest Skype beta works quite well. I use a blue-tooth headset with my macbook and the results are really incredible.

Hi, I'm new
Looking at the screenshots my impression is that the Finder is exactly the same as the "old" one. Does this mean that one of the secret feature is a completely new Finder?
(btw.. other screenshots of leopard and in particular XCode and Xray: http://www.macinquirer.net/page0/page0.php)

do you need to have a zillion gigabites free to use time machine in a decent way?
for example, if you have a 1 gigabite film, and u delete it 'putting it in the trash, and empty trash', it's still going to be on your hard drive, taking up space, right? and will it also save your cookies, bookmarks, deleted programs,
i rarely delete stuff by accident...so i hope this can be turned off, and won't interrupt much of my normal workflow, the way things are deleted now.
