The amount of problems in Leopard will never make it as solid as 10.4.11. I'm very afraid that we'll never see an OS X version as solid again. Snow Leopard has its own set of problems in addition to Leopard's.
Got a tip for us?

A beta version months from release had problems? Never!
Agreed. 10.5.7 took too long to deliver.
I'm still hesitant about upgrading to 10.6.0 on release, might just wait to see how members here go with it first.
I'm going to blindly forge ahead!
in apple we trust
on another note, after installing the bluetooth firmware update my bt mighty mouse seems to be a little more precise. could be my imagination but i dont think so. I'm pretty happy.
Thanks! We need people on the front line to hit all the worst bugs so we won't have to.

Precisely! That's why I'm in NO hurry to get Snow Leopard, IF I get at all.
Plus, I have 10.5.7 installed on both of my computers and everything runs perfectly. If it isn't broke don't try to fix it.
However with that said, yes I'm upgrading to 10.5.8 when it comes out. Seeing how this is the last upgrade in the OS that PPC users will ever get probably, I'm hoping that Apple will make 10.5.8 ROCK SOLID FOR EVERYBODY!!!!
If snow leopard is only going to be $29 upgrade then why not? Its only going to get better!!
Just got your response, I only got my iMac with Leopard on it, given it obviously had a previous OS on it, a reinstall doesn't correct the situation.
Given we're a good 2 months away from Snow Leopard, will Apple likely hang fire on releasting 10.5.8 till then, or get it out asap, then patch anything else with a 10.5.9? or a 10.5.8.x update?
They're probably taking their time to make sure that 10.5.8 is rock solid as possible. This is it for PPC users you know.
As if there wouldn't be a 10.5.9, 10.5.10, etc. This time they have the end of the line for PPC to support, so we'll most probably have updates after SL release. They owe it to the people still using PPC hardware. I don't believe 10.5.8 is the last Leopard to be released.
Sure be nice if they finally fix the connection timeout issue on WPA wireless networks as well but I am not holding my breath. They have been promising to do that even since 10.5.2. I will not be surprised if it is still in Snow Leopard. My brother gave up on Macs because of this and went back to Windoze.

Wow what a lame reason to go back to Windows esp as cracking WPA is easy as.
As a test I managed to crack my Airport Extreme's WPA in minutes.
WPA2 ftw.
Fair point if it is your own network, but nothing you can do if it isn't.. such as a university network etc.
True, i think my uni uses WPA2.
It was shocking to find some utilities on the internet and be in seconds.
Although I just worked out it was WEP I managed to do so easily, not WPA
Either way, I hate to think what experts can do if a newb like me can do it.
Ah well.
