Macworld reviews Leopard

If that is all Macworld can complain about then Leopard is a winner. I stopped by the Apple store in Stonestown S.F. and got two shirts. The Apple one and the Fast Mac one. As for the 'flaws', I tried out Leopard and none of the three are sucky bad. More of a preference thing. I didn't have a problem with the menu bar and I liked the new docks shelf. As for stacks. They are a plus and a minus. Apple was demoing stacks and I like that you can store groups of like apps in separate stacks for super fast access. And it looks cool. ;)

"I liked it a lot until I realised I could no longer access my Windows shares. Now I'm bummed."

I have no problem accessing my Windows shares in Leopard. It works much better than Tiger in fact. I think you need to revise the permissions on your folders in Windows to give Guest access because that's what Leopard will try to connect as by default.

I hope there's a handle command-line default writing trick to make the transparent menu bar go away.

I liked it a lot until I realised I could no longer access my Windows shares. Now I'm bummed.

I think the new menu bar is super sexy. Regardless of the complaints of transparency.

My Leopard is installing now... I had to do a birthday lunch, so I've missed out on the early install =(

I'll be camping out at a CompUSA since we don't have an Apple Store.

I don't have a transparent Menu Bar on my 1.25 G4 Mac mini, or floating stars in time machine. So if he's got a problem, get a slower Mac!!

Just an FYI - I pre-ordered Leopard the first day I was able to, and today, 10/26 at 10AM PST, FedEx delivered it!

Are people linning up at the Apple stores in the US to get Leopard? I saw that they did that in Japan
