One of these days I'm going to reinstall the system on this MacPro (2x2Ghz Intel) I work on.
Now i'm with 10.4.11
is it worth installing Leopard?
I don't really care about time machine or multiple desktops. So are there any valid features worth of being installed / benefits in installing it?

For the record, I find Leopard 100% bug-less now.

I think 90% of 10.5 is a gimmick if you ask me, quick view is the only new thing worth having. 10.5 has been complete bitch when I first installed it, and that was a clean install from scratch. Quictime problems, printing problems, and the list go's on.

quick view (press spacebar to view the document) is worth it.
but i had more troubles with network-drives than on 10.4, solved them now, but it was a pain. i think its save to install now.

Also 10.5 has introduced this nanny warning message shit. "You have just downloaded something from the internet, are you sure you want to install this application".
YES GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT. If anyone know how to stop this, please tell me?
- Yes, I want to stop the internet too.Jnr_Madison
- google, you can disable thismodern

If you are on Intel stick with 10.4, and get Snow Leopard in January/February.

Before leopard osx offered no decent simple image viewer, it was the main reason I considered macs being graphics/multimedia friendly bullshit. Worst thing, third party viewers sucked too.
QuickLook nails it. It's the shit. I can live with the shitty startup wallpaper, the uglier dock (even when de-3d'ed) when I have QL. It's the best thing in ages and can be easily extended to preview other file types too.

quicklook is pretty fucking handy.. especially when your looking for a audio file in a long list of things..
leopard is good tho.. stable now days.

I wrote this before: I never thought leopard finder's cover flow view could be any useful, but if you launch it for font browsing with arrows and your thumb on the spacebar ready to add quick look into action - it is pretty fast and fun way to dig through your type library.
- We already know you're in Ireland. How much Apple is paying you?Fariska
- Despite Europe HQ being located in Cork, Ireland, Apple treats this country with annoying disregard..rafalski
- There's no Apple Store, only resellers. It's prolly the last country to be stocked. New mb's will be here in Winterrafalski
- ..and cover flow is a gimmick. Fun to browse fonts though.rafalski

Quick look and the way quick look integrates with finder (anything that is quick lookable gets an icon preview and they appear a hell of a lot faster than in Tiger)
Window border are much nicer now the brushed metal crap is gone, automator is faster, the downloads folder + downloads stack are excellent.
