I just installed
Mac OS X Leopard on my PowerBook G4. Well, not really 'on' it: I actually used my external 160gb firewire disk for that. I know that some applications are not compatible with Leopard, so I try to play it save. Also I didn't know how smooth it would run on my PowerBook which is just based on a G4 and not the latest Intel platform that Apple is using nowadays. So I'm just experimenting, to put it that way. But I have to say: so far so good. It took about 2 hours before I had installed and copied my stuff, but it looks great, I love Safari 3 (I'm writing this entry with it), and I love stacks; it's makes things a lot less messy on my desktop.
I will definitely need some more time to check things out a bit more in-depth, but so far so good. I was even surprised to find out that with Leopard you get Front Row back! That was something that was not officially included with Tiger for my PowerBook. All the other stuff - Time Machine, Spaces etc - I will need to check out later. One thing that surprises me so far, is that it runs relatively smooth on my 1.5ghz G4 with 768mb ram. Even the new finder with it's "coverflow" like interface seems to work smooth. Amazing!
All I can say so far: Microsoft Vista, eat your heart out!
