Bought it yesterday, finally got it installed a couple of hours ago. I was one of the unfortunates who got the infamous blue screen. I don’t know exactly how I solved it, but I restored from my backup (thank you SuperDuper!), turned off pretty much all my startup items and deleted Unsanity’s Application Enhancers. Now I’m not saying that Unsanity was at fault but getting rid of APE did seem to make a difference.
Menu extras seem to be broken, so no Soundsource, which is a drag. Quicksilver seems to be broken in ways that make it unusable for me (specifically, you can only invoke Quicksilver when it’s the front application, which is pretty useless) The good news is that Parallels works as does ecto and pretty much everything else I’ve played with yet.
Looks like I’ll be buying some hard drives pretty damned quick. Word on the net is that SuperDuper! doesn’t work in Leopard and my existing drive is pretty filled up, probably too much so for Time Machine. I’m thinking that I’ll be using both as my understanding is that Time Machine, for all it’s coolness doesn’t make bootable backups like SuperDuper!
Notes synching to the iPhone is a bust, as is tasks. This was a pretty big disappointment to learn. I renewed my .Mac membership because of the IMAP goodness (Gmail does this now too) and can report that you can create notes on your Mac in one of your IMAP mail accounts and they will show up on the iPhone just fine. This doesn’t appear to be the case with tasks, however.
I’ll let you know the rest as I figure it out.
