Latley Chris Pirillo has been going on and on about how much better Leopard is better than Vista. And on a lot of grounds he’s right, it does have its advantages over a lot of Vista features. I dont however see how great “syncing settings” on multiple machines would be so great, considering even if i did get a mac, it would be my only one. To him its astounding, to me, its kinda… meh… not that interesting.

But Chris is making it seem like Leopard is with imperfections, which is far from the truth. Leopard hasn’t been out for a week now and already a lot of users are reporting issues. One of the most wide spread issues going on the offical Apple forums is a claim that over time, a wireless connection will crawl to a halt and fail. The connection will start off fine, but then slow down from 100 kds to 10 kbs to 2kbs to nothing. Many users claim that their connection is now worse than dial up! Can you imagine, worse than dial up??

A lot of the users are going as far as to say “Leopard is not complete, this really is just a BETA.” and “I’m going to have to go back down to 10.4.” Doesn’t this sound familiar? Isnt this the same thing Vista users are saying?

Dont think Leopard will solve all your problems. Its a good machine, but its full of its own issues right now.

As for the wireless issue, the forums, while official, are sricly user to user and are not responded to by Apple officials. As of right now Apple has not posted any mention of the issue or any possible fixes for it.
