Well, already did.... Like I said, I do like many things in Leopard, but I wish I could customize certain things, like stacks, view options.....
Got a tip for us?

Agreed. But while that's true, this thread has sort of become another discussion (or two) about Stacks.
Too bad for these people. But a lot of people have good tastes, not just Apple. It is not for Apple to decide if I want transparent bar or solid, or if I like bright navy blue or pale blue. It is not hardware it is a software. There has to be an option.
Newbie huh? I have been reading posts here since 2005, so because I am not a hot-head, full of myself that lives on this board posting till I'm blue in the face I must be classified as a instigator? Hmm, I see one can not decent from the whining children without being given negative monicker.
And if you read my other posts, you can see I was taking part in helping people as well.. so don't start throwing around the TROLL word and step off of your moral high horse.
right
Yes, I was told that you can no longer move the MacHD desktop icon to the dock. Is that what you mean?
What I'm talking about is navigating entire folders throught the Dock, like so:

I haven't used Leopard, but I'm being told that you can't do that anymore.

And it is your decision not to buy into their decision... but you did anyway, like a good little sheep, and now you are crying wolf!
You don't like, write your own OS and then you don't have to be stuck with those big bad transparent bars.
The whole post seems to be a preference issue. Some people like the new add-ons in Leopard and some doesn't. People just leave others that disagree with their opinions alone. If you have something to say, go tell Apple directly by filling out the feedback form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
P.S: I personally found leopard less stable (I saw BBOD several times after my fresh install) than Tiger on my PowerMac G5, but it's Leopard version 1 so I hope they start pushing out some updates soon. Or maybe its my Mac having some issues...

Yes, irony... using a negative moniker to describe those giving me a negative moniker! It is truly a vicious circle.
Exactly, that is my point... lets focus on fixing BUGS and leave the feature complaints to apple's feedback forms.
Leopard changes
I saw the same whining attitudes in regard to the iphone when Apple was extremely fair in reducing the cost so others can enjoy the benefits. Sure, they make money, but it they didn't we wouldn't have these advances. Until the automotive industry finally were challenged they were making stone age cars. We've just entered a whole new age in technology and the complaining begins. Instead of making yourself such a boil on the back of technology you should have some patience, document the problems and input them to Apple. None of your little irritations are worth making such a fuss. Help technology of get off the train.

This thread should be deleted. The guy who started this nonsense complains about emotional fodder clogging the forums, and yet goes on to create a post that is the exact incarnation of what he is trying to defeat.
Every time a new OS has come out, people have complained. It's called change, and not everyone embraces it. The people at Apple know what they are doing. In order to keep those stocks high-- to maintain their position as vanguard--they produce cutting edge hardware/software. Some people will need to adjust their esoteric habits to compensate, or stay with the older version, period, end of sentence.
Why complain, especially here? Send Apple a letter. In fact, I'll draft a generic copy, and you can fill in the details.

Dear Steve,
(Insert feature here) should have been left in OS 10.5. I really miss it, and its absence impacts my productivity. In fact, my bitterness has driven me to the brink of maddness, to an extent where I thought complaining on internet forums would make my problems go away. However, I've gathered myself and now realize that you're the one I should be writing to, if I expect anything to get done. Therefore, as a loyal customer, I implore you to investigate this issue.
Sincerely,
(Insert Name Here)

I agree with everyone who says that if we want change we have to tell apple. In fact, if you don't like stacks the way it is, please DO tell apple as many of us (me especially) will be very happy. Here's the link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/
However, there is a difference between the forums and giving feedback to apple. One of the purposes of the forums is to educate other users on things that they may not know i.e. that stacks doesn't work as we thought. This is not always complaining per se but more akin to education of our fellow users who rely on forums for information that is not spun out by the PR department at apple.
While some of it should definitely be taken with a grain of salt and lots of it should be completely avoided under the label of total hyperbole, there are a great majority of posts that exist to educate the public about topics that we were not aware of and help us make our purchasing decisions.
Whereas, on the other hand, giving feedback to apple helps us change the product we may be purchasing to make it more likely that we will a) purchase it and b) be happy with it.
Thus, forums are here to help us decide about the product whereas feedback to apple is there to have us change the product for consumer uses directly. They are mostly separate entities.
