Urgh!!! jealous++

I'm liking the black logo in the Apple menu, nice! That dock is just yumyum!!
And look at that iTunes wanna be!! hehe, nice it works well.

God Im so impatient!!!!!!!

Sad Professor

Very nice . I can't wait!

What's the speed like?

Oriel

Not quite as fast as 10.4 from what I remember from the short time using it. But that's to be expected really. I'll get more time to mess tomorrow.
I need reminding of what the new features are! For example, I haven't played with the stacks yet.

The most noticeable thing is that Finder looks more like iTunes. Well, can look more like iTunes if you want it to.

Looking forward to the feedback on that. How about Spaces?

'Quick Look' def looks better than I imagined it would!

More "Quick Look" when dropping a folder onto the Dock



Spaces



New Preview and showing a screenshot of how active applications are now represented in the Dock



One more take on the new Dock


YUM

Creamy Goodness

don't like the way the dock's background is like 3d, though it will grow on me

I can't wait to use mail. I would love to see some shots of mail.

Also time machine is one i will use cause right now i do not back up. so that is a bonus for me.

Basq

Yup! I was mad using it for the first week or so. The novelty has worn off now and the hassle of booting into it keeps me in 10.4 but Im looking forward to a more stable release.

Rollo Tamasi

stacks looks soooo handy
thanky crikey mail has rss built in too

Oriel

I've been using a dev build for a couple of months now - it's nothing to get too excited about.
A few nice graphics, for the average user - nothing worth upgrading to.
I see people on websites saying "should I buy a Mac now or wait until Leopard." Simple. Buy now.
For the average user, and I stress "average", it's the same experience.

/edit - Coverflow is nice in theory, but not great for finding things, which is what finder is all about.
TimeMachine is the best feature about Leopard - which requires huge HD space, which Apple are more than happy to charge big money for...

How are you finding it for development?

Run into any serious problems at all?

xRay is very handy for testing/debugging. Not many changes to xCode so far, that is due to be overhauled soon enough though. Overall, not many changes on the dev front, aside from a few new tools, but xRay is probably the handiest addition.

I'm fairly new to OS X but damn, I want stacks!

Ruby on Rails pre-installed :P

I'm in the North. Unfortunately, due to keyboard setup etc, I have to choose UK settings.

sorry for going off topic but will the upgrade to leopard be free or should i hold off on getting a new macbook until it is released?

iv never owned a mac before so dont know the crack with their updates.

faceman

Yeah I know you answered, sorry not taking from your answer, was just elaborating that you could choose more than one option.
