My first plan was to go to Regent Street but I decided it might be a bit mad out there so I headed to Buewater shopping centre instead.<br \/>\nI am really glad I went there, there were several 100 people in the queue but I got in around 5:15 and were maybe number 15 in the queue so I was in and out in about 10 minutes with Leopard and a swanky tshirt.<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.devco.net\/images\/10.5.jpg\"><\/center><br \/>\nI put it on my iMac with no problems at all, re-indexing the spotlight indexes took ages and made my machine a bit slow but once that was done it is all smooth sailing.<br \/>\nSo far I have 2 3rd party application problems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Parallels let you mount your guest drive as a drive on your mac, for some or other reason this gives a time-out problem.  Parallels have committed to  a free patch for any issues so Kudos to them\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.obdev.at\/products\/littlesnitch\/index.htmll\">Little Snitch<\/a> stopped working well and will require a paid upgrade to version 2.  Version 2 is much improved and I think this is a must-have app so will be happy to pay for it, its very inexpensive.\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other than these problems, I&#8217;ve been 100% happy with it.  So far I don&#8217;t think its a total killer upgrade really, the unified look and feel is nice and makes for an all round more polished feel to OS X something that Microsoft have right for years now with their Designed For plans that requires you to comply to their design guides, I think the unified look and feel of Windows apps is invaluable.<br \/>\nThe big feature for me is perhaps the new Finder, quick look and coverflow makes dealing with images so much easier, in the past I had to rely on all sorts of 3rd party apps to just browse images without pain, now Finder does it perfectly.<br \/>\nThe biggest disappointment is Spaces.  I had high hopes for it, from a UI perspective its too hard to pin applications to a given Space.  I might have to stick to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yousoftware.com\/desktops\/desktops.php\">You Control: desktops<\/a>.  Will give spaces another try though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I joined a few 100 people in queuing for Leopard.
