"Dont upgrade its crap/useless"

Wouldn't say that, most of the real most noticeable improvements are under the hood.

The other 'features' I don't use.

Can't say I've ever been on the receiving end of such bugs/errors.

Used Leopard on an iBook as well as my MacBook has been fine up to now.

The guys/gals at the Apple store can be a bit dim in my experience when it comes to certain questions.

The Geniuses know there stuff though!
 
General opinion I find is if you're geeky it's well worth the £85, if you're not, you probably won't notice a huge difference and therefor your £85 is more likely better spent elsewhere.
 
Leopard is good, but personally (on a 2Ghz Core Duo MacBook) i've found the update process through Software Update from 10.5.x to 10.5.x really buggy. It'll make iSync not load and a massive amount of SUID errors appear up in permission repair. Downloading the massive combo update and installing fixes all this.

I have to wonder though if all this is the reason for Snow Leopard..."AKA an £85 Leopard Service Pack"!
 
Leopard, to be honest is fairly buggy for me. Few months down the line I get sleep issues (every now and then everything gradually freezes after wake, first some applications then the rest of mac), time machine errors for no reason, network drives get disconnected every now and then under heavy load with most vague and pointless messages - I go to network in finder, list of computers there, but no visible shares on any of them, I go to any windows machine - of course everything works. Just little oddities all over the place.
I would even go as far as claiming I haven't had a single week with Leopard without something crashing, freezing or just ceasing to work after a while on my mini. And I've used previous OSX's on various macs for years without any issues.
