Leopard – first impressions

October 29, 2007 by paul


* Took quite a while for the system to settle down after setting it up with .mac synchronisation.

* Still quite a lot of bugs but no show-stoppers yet. Worst one so far was (I think) an iDisk sync that went crazy, and created a 77Gb temp file in my Library folder. I was wondering why the system was running so badly, and the ‘You are low on space on the system drive’ message explained it. I force-quit the sync process, deleted the temp file and everything seems to be okay now. I still don’t trust iDisk synching at all though… roll on 10.5.1.

* Press F11 to reveal the desktop and then open the Spotlight search box – it appears mostly offscreen. Crazy!

* Time Machine is good, but needs a drive connected physically to the Mac, or a remote server also running Leopard. That means no NAS drives or Airport Disks… at least, not yet. I can’t run the iMac on Leopard until we’ve finished Crumpet’s animation in case something breaks our pro apps.

* Very disappointed in .mac – it’s just as slow and troublesome as it was back when I first tried it out 3 years ago. I don’t think I’ll get it again. Obviously Apple just aren’t capable of making a service that doesn’t suck.
