Software Reviews of Apple Mac OS X Version 10.5.6 Leopard [5-User Family Pack]

Customer Review: Outstanding OS
Summary: 5 Stars

Amazon gives the best price, everyone else has wrote the greatness of the Leopard OS, I found that I don't use most of the new features. I installed on a older G5 Mac and noticed that I needed to take the Ram up to 2 gigs to run software properly. It took about 2 hours to install, DSL speed was running at 900kbps. I recommend.

Customer Review: Better than previous version
Summary: 5 Stars

Okay, many people rave about 10.5.6 because of the "time machine" feature. I don't use it. I back up my critical files onto a USB jump drive (lol).

What 10.5.6 is good for, in my opinion, is that it connects much easier to a wireless or ethernet (PPOE) internet service. Probably the first time Mac got it's internet connectivity right.

I use most of the MAC free programs and I do notice a slight differences from previous versions. As much as these improvements are probably helpful, if your used to previous versions you'll probably find these improvements (and changes to the way you use the software) as initially annoying until you get used to them.

I will say, however, that at $129 for the full version, and $199 for the 5-user family pack, this operating system is a screaming good deal. Probably the best operating system out there by far for a reasonable price.

Now if they only sold a MAC OS X version that ran on a PC, then Dell could sell you cheap hardware with an option of either Windows or MAC operating system. I'd be choosing MAC every time.

I'm also a Ubuntu fan, if your into "no frills" open source, free operating systems. But for my main cruising machine, give me Mac OS X, version 10.5.6.

Can't wait until they come out with the next version (Snow Leopard??). I'm sure the upgrade will be annoying for those who are used to 10.5.6, but overall it will be an improvement to a steadily improving masterpiece.

Customer Review: Apple does it again!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was completely satisfied with Mac OSX Tiger since it came with my computer. However, the new features of Leopard finally attracted my attention and I bought the family pack so my family could enjoy them too. It has worked great so far and I am still enjoying the new features weeks afterward. Once again, Apple has created a great operating system, lets see Microsoft try and catch up in another five years!

Customer Review: Mac OSXv10.5.4 found out the hard way
Summary: 1 Stars

Nothing to blame except my own cluelessness. I bought this upgrade without realizing that once I installed it I could not run any OS9 applications. I run a printing company and have to call up files dating back 10 years (Pagemaker/Typestyler), plus I have to be able to open any old files my customers bring in. Guess I'll stick with OSX.4.11 for the time being and sell this upgrade on eBay or something.
