    Yes, for the biggest majority of people...

    "It just works" in the adverts is talking about out of the box..this is hardly in that context.

    So, stop being silly.

      I've just installed leopard on the mac mini and switched off the firewall to all incoming non-sense.

      So far so good, using the scroll in finder to preview documents is very pretty... but is it useful -

        I guess it could be useful, but I never really use it myself..I like the stacked icons idea on the dock though.

            I am not sure how much more out of the box you get than taking the upgarde OS out of the box and installing it.... and then blue screening.

            Stop wriggling, you know the Leopard system is flawed and that it makes a mockery of the 'it just works' ad campaign, you are just to brainwashed by Apple to accept it.

            You need an intervention, I will send ATW around to rescue you from the apple cult.

              Did you know uncle Seymour died in an accident in his Jeep Cherokee.

              The interesting part is that his Jeep Cherokee vehicle was designed using a Cray supercomputer.

                I'm liking the space's function so far.

                It means I can keep this thread opened separate from my workspace, how cool is that? This is a plus...

                  How cool is that? Hmm, is that a rhetorical question?

                    Depends on whether or not you are doing an upgrade or a fresh install. Do you work in IT? If you are doing an upgrade and you have a dodgy 3rd party gui then expect issues. I am not saying it was faultless or seamless, but all in all it was better than the Vista release and given the choice, I would use a Mac rather than anything else. I do however use Windows 2000 at work and it sucks. I have used all flavours of Windows and supported them all.
