I recently upgraded my notebook to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

It is quite late compared to many first adopters, but there was no reason to rush. Even so there still are some rough edges to Leopard (e.g., a bug with desktop screen size after the external monitor gets unplugged) that need to be ironed out.

What are your experiences with Leopard, do you enjoy the new look & feel and what is the “must-have” software that you would recommend using with it?

P.S. One reason for waiting with an upgrade was because I did not have a good backup / HDD imaging solution in place (solved using SuperDuper!). The other was too much travel and not wanting to risk upgrading shortly before traveling.

Post-Upgrade Notes:

HP Printer Driver 1.1 was released by Apple on July 15, 2008. Printing stopped working for me after installing this update. This support discussion post suggests how to fix the problem by replacing the following directories with older versions (backup from before printer drive upgrade):

• MacintoshHD/library/printers/hp/filter/hpPostProcessing.bundle
• MacintoshHD/library/printers/hp/PDEs/hpPostScriptPDE.plugin
