Another reason they could be getting the idea that Leopard is our Vista is because so many of the Mac podcasts have been so depressingly negative. It's weird... and unique to this release. Have our expectations gotten so high that all we do is bitch about our beloved OS? When I installed leopard I was so excited and I have loved it since day one. I have had no trouble with it whatsoever... but between you and Mac OS Ken going on about all the things you didn't like (which, I admit it just as important as the things we do like)... I no longer was excited. You guys sapped all the fun out of it for a guy like me who had no problems with it. :(
Other than that, I love your podcast... despite your being a total buzzkill. haha
Hi Russ,
I think Leopard is the best OS X yet. I loved what I saw at that Apple store the night of release so much, I bought an extra copy that I didn't need!
However, I think it's important for me to relate my experiences with it (both positive and negative) for anyone listening who might still be on the fence about upgrading.
Because I rely on what used to be Finder folders on the dock and because I rely on iCal so much, the changes Apple made actually impact the way I use those programs. And I think you guys need to know that.
Overall, though, I hope my impressions of Leopard over the past four weeks of shows have come across as primarily positive.
Regardless of what anyone thinks, please don't let that cloud the joy you get out of the big cat!
Thanks for the kind words Russ!
Mike (aka. Buzzkill)
