Leopard, a few hours on

So, I've been playing with Leopard a while.

The good.

• It feels faster than Tiger. May be imaginary...
• Non-beta Safari 3 has a number of improvements over the beta.
• Spotlight works better.
• Clever little things like 'all files modified today' accessible as smart folders.
• Stacks are actually pretty handy.
• Pretty!
• Front Row is way better than the old one. Really. It's not comparable.
• Wireless menu no longer takes ten seconds to appear.
• As previously mentioned, Terminal has been much improved.
• Spaces could be nice, though I haven't used a multi-desktop interface in years.
• Cool default desktop background.
• Address book and similar launch faster.

The bad.

• Broke LispWorks Personal and my old X11 emacs. I'm looking into Aqua and Carbon Emacs ports; I may end up installing a new X11 one.
• The interface looks a bit wrong. I suspect I will get used to this; it's mostly just that it's different from the old one.
• Cisco VPN client (a not completely new version) doesn't work. Apparently the very newest version does.
• Annoying 'this application is from the Internet' thing, a la Vista. I suppose it's for security, but I don't care for it.
• Sound occasionally stops working; apparently, this happens to a lot of iBook users.

The ugly.

• None. It's an Apple product; what did you expect?
