Taking Leopard for a spin….

So, we’ve got Leopard up and running on our Intel Mini, and, so far, are liking many features, thusly:
Mail - I like the new Notes and To Do feature. To Do has taken over GTD chores from Ghost Action (which won’t run under Leopard) at least for the time being.
Preview - has finally brought the adjust image size’ feature out to its menu, so I don’t have to launch Photoshop or iPhoto to resize an image. Yay! Preview crashes reliably every time I sharpen a photo and then attempt to save it. Boo!
Finder - networking seems to have been improved, and Finder feels more live and responsive both for local drives and network shares.
Quick Look and Cover Flow - the big icons really do make it easier to find the document you want, especially in collections of similar items.
Spaces - my favorite Linux feature, finally arrives in OS X. It behaves a little oddly - the interplay between the Dock and spaces is odd IMHO, but I’ll figure it out.
More TK as we explore further… please feel free to leave tips, tricks and discoveries in the comments section…

Remember 30 years ago when save was the most important function. Who would ever use a program that couldn’t save. Nowadays not only is it a miracle when the save function works but no-one cares when it doesn’t.
