It's just too bad that I won't be able to buy a new Mac any time soon. I hate buying OSs, but from a developer stand point, Leopard is looking like a must have. Safari for Windows is an unexpected surprise. It'll be nice to finally be able to say "Safari is the best browser. Period." (Although, unfortunately not enough people will listen. If they ever do it'll make web development trivial) On top of that, the promise of perhaps being able to build iPhone applications is pretty enticing.

Other than the development related features though, I'm not seeing anything worth drooling over in Leopard. I hate it when Apple tries to control how we use the Desktop, so hopefully Stacks will be completely optional... Won't know how useful any of the new features will actually be though until I actually get a chance to try them out. I would've never guessed how handy Expose actually is, but hey, in the end it's turned out to be pretty nifty and useful.

I went over there and checked out that keynote speech. Well done. Leopard's looking really good. All the features that they've showed were great and the price is pretty good as well. I'll definitely be picking this up when it comes out.
