Soldato
I bit the bullet and installed it. Upgrade from Tiger too. I backed up so I was confident. Been using it for a few hours now.
So far...
Good:
Bad
These are impressions after only a short period of time. I'm running 10.5.1 btw. No doubt I'll have more opinions as time goes on and I have a play with Time Machine and Spaces, but so far its been more good than bad. I'm happy.
So far...
Good:
- Dock doesn't bother me half as much as I expected with all the whining I've read
- Quicklook is a lot more useful than I expected, as is coverflow for flipping through photos.
- The upgrade process was really painless, I was impressed.
- The webclip Dashboard tool is very nice. I've already made myself a weather widget I'll actually look at.
Bad
- Some of the animations seem slower than they are on Tiger. Particularly minimizing windows. Also, the mouse tracking speed seems different.
- I experienced my first ever "hang" on a Mac. While a DVD was loading I accidently triggered Dashboard and it seemed to fall over. Had to hard reset.
