Leopard
Well, I've installed Leopard on my work iMac. It's mostly nice.
Pro:
* Time machine ROCKS.
* Spaces is very cool. Not really new -- I had similar functionality in X Window Managers 15 years ago -- but cool.
Minus:
* Synergy broke, but I wound up downloading SynergyXM, which is a GUI/Preference pane wrapper. Docco is a bit inadequate, but once figured out this is actually better.
* X11 won't let me drag windows all the way onto my second display. This is annoying, but I'm working around it for now.
* xemacs broke. A quick "sudo port upgrade xemacs" failed until I installed the developers tools, and then just fixed everything.
* The wallpaper on my second display got reset.
Overall, it's good stuff.
(Friday Update) Installing an updated but unofficial X11 solved the second display problem.

I think Leopard broke iDVD and Final Cut Express. They can no longer burn DVDs. These are older versions, but I'm still annoyed.
Other than that, I'm quite happy.

Well, I don't have Final Cut, and I haven't tried iDVD yet. I *hope* iDVD still works, it would suck if it doesn't.
