Anyone start using Leopard already? Any difference from the previous OS?

[madmacs]

using it...loving it :jump1:

incompatible versions of 3rd party software may cause problems though -

1. application enhancer + shapeshifter can cause blue screen of death

2. yahoo messenger 3.0 crashes on launch - to fix this upgrade to build 75170

3. some itunes plugins like volumelogic and srs iwow won't work. volumelogic no more in production. srs iwow should be coming up with a fix.

4. read from other forum - drivers for some canon printers missing. but my i990 which i installed long ago still works :grin:

Hey Madmacs can it still use Java? Getting my MacPro soon. :grin:

[madmacs]

yes...java works.

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_13"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_13-b05-237)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_13-119, mixed mode)

one good test is to login to dbs internet banking. if java doesn't work you won't be able to access :grin:

tempted to get the leopard but concern about the upgrading process. Do i need to reinstall every program?

Did the upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5.

Only certain applications not supported in 10.5 broke, the rest are working well. No hindrance in my daily work/usages.
