From Tiger to Leopard

Well, I finally bit the bullet and got Leopard at home (on a mac mini).    So far, the transition from Tiger has been relatively painless. 

 

Here's a breakdown of the highs/lows for me compared to Tiger:

• Spotlight performance: +1;  (usable!)
• General OS responsiveness:  +1;
• Safari Speed: +1;
• Safari Reliability: -1; (has crashed on two different web sites for me so far! -- guess I'll go back to my camino/firefox combo)
• Quicklook: +1;
• Dock improvements (grids and fans):  +1;  
• Time machine: ?; I set it up, but for me the jury is out on any backup software until I actually need to restore something.
• Haven't found any major app incompatibilities yet.
