With Mac OS X Leopard going on sale tonight at 6, we’re pretty excited. You’ve already heard about all the new features, and we’re curious to see how the installations go. Therefore, we’ve created this open thread for you to share whatever you want about your experiences with Apple’s new operating system.
It is moderated, so we’ll be periodically approving things throughout the night (our staff has a few other commitments), but we’d love to hear your thoughts!
Also, as we say goodbye to Tiger, I thought I’d share one of our early pieces when it first arrived. Also, on our Hall of Fame page, you can see what our coverage of Panther looked like.

I managed to get my copy shipped early – basically “it just works”, and I’m having no trouble on my Power Mac G5. I love all the interface refinements – thank you Apple for not making it jarringly different.

I’ve unfortunately not been able to install thw GM. I’m not installing it on my iMac until I can be sure all the software I rely on works, including input managers like Saft. So I tried to install on my mom’s Power Mac G5, on which I’ve played with the beta seeds… and when I try to install, I get to a gray screen with the spinning beachball cursor and nothing else. I suspect it may be a faulty memory problem, so with new RAM ordered I should have things in working order.
I can understand Apple wanting to improve such things as data integrity, but it’s also possible that they’re checking TOO hard. I certainly hope the new RAM fixes the issue, though, or I’m afraid I’ll have to find a hardware test CD for this computer.

Only Apple could come up with an OS that is nearly identical to its predecessor, but not! I love the new interface tweaks and the various fixes, as highlighted on Daring Fireball, but I’m not a fan of the folders-as-stacks idea. I like custom folder icons in my Dock…

Got it installed on my MacBook with no trouble….I’m still getting used to the interface tweaks, but every little change is making me happy – it’s just got that shiny new feel. :-D
No problems with software so far either…
