Steven Levy of Newsweek posts video review of Leopard
Newsweek editor Steven Levy (he of iPod authorial fame) has posted a video review of Leopard for your enjoyment. Nice rundown of new features and explanation of Time Machine; however, he does a lot of Spaces whisking-about without explaining what the feature is or what he's doing.The video isn't embeddable but you can see it by following the "Read" link below. Enjoy!

Yea... very sad...
I thought I had seen that footage before - turns out he stole it from Apple's "Mac OS Leopard. A guided tour." Remember the bicycle in Mail? and the really nice iphoto pictures?
Sad... and yes I agree with #11, it is a very worthless review. It is his voice dubbed over Apple's footage.
To "Steven Levy", I only have to say, "get your own footage, jerk"
To TUAW, I say, "Thanks, but no thanks."
The video footage looks like stock b-roll which was produced by Apple.
Wow. What a terrible, worthless review. No good information whatsoever. Just stuttering over how okay it is.

Not too much additional information, but kind of nice to see it in motion on a "real person"s computer.

No, you're not. I'm having the same problem here, regardless of whether I use Camino, Firefox or Safari.
How is everyone else getting this to work?
Very weak review. Steven Levy's speaking style reminds me of Woody Allen.
