When to expect Leopard 10.5.2 (and what to expect)

Some apps disappear after I use spaces...
Say, I switch to a space to check and IM then go back and find my window is gone and (unless it's Safari which I can 'Merge All Windows' to bring back) un-retrievable... Very annoying sometimes.

STABILITY!!!!
I get crashes on shutdown (the black screen thing).
I get crashes when my MBP wakes from sleep, along with freezes, keyboard luckups, a mouse that moves choppily across the screen.
I get crashes running front row (which sucks now compared to the old one).
I get locking, beachballing, etc. Nothing I experienced with Tiger.
I'm starting to be reminded of why I switched out of windows, WHILE USING OS X!!!!!

If you two finger tap on the timemachine drive on finder you can click back up now
How do you backup your files if you do a fresh install? Only way is to do a backup to your external hdd or timemachine backup?
I want it to be as smooth as possible if i decide to do a fresh install
I did the same thing but the freezing has come back now and then. Its 10.5.1 and hopefully it will be fixed in the update.
Either that or burn a bunch of DVD's with all your stuff. If you have an iPod, copy all your documents to that (don't need to worry about music since you can transfer that back off the iPod).
I made a list of all the applications I'll need to re-download, mostly because they might release a new version if 10.5.2 breaks anything.
I'm waiting till 10.5.2 comes out then I'm doing a complete reinstall.
For 10.5.2, I'd like to see -
1) Bootcamp: Updated drivers for X64 compatibility; The updated drivers are already available for the 2008 Mac Pros, why not make them available to everyone else, without having to hunt for them on some dodgy bittorrent site?
2) Bootcamp: Work with RAID. I have my main OS X installation on two HD's running in RAID 1. I have a third drive, but I cant run Bootcamp from the default installation, to install windows on the third drive. Instead, I have to create a second OS X installation on the third drive, and then use that second installation to create the windows installation. Confused? I know I am!

I love reading these forums... it makes me feel a little bit better about obsessing about the update... checking the main page and software update every 15 minutes to see if it's been released yet
I am doing this as well.
I will do a Complete Format. Then Install OS 10.5.0. Then Immediatly after, install 10.5.2.
Then After 10.5.2 is solidified, install all my apps again, and put back on my Music/Movies/Docs etc....
I think it works quite well More efficient and Safari is really fast beautiful I've yet to have a problem.
