Re: [CGUYS] Update OS X 10.3.9 to 10.5?
It's available on windows, either as a free powertoy for xp, or you can search for virtual desktop on download.com and come up with dozens. It's amazed me it's taken this long for apple to have this come out, it's been on unix/linux for a decade? It's been on windows for years for that matter too.

That is a really nice and compelling feature. For some people this will be valuable. But for those of us who don't generate critical or important data or files all day, it's not enough to merit a purchase. I might feel different in a few months or if I started having trouble.

Re: [CGUYS] Update OS X 10.3.9 to 10.5?
I think 10.4 was a big improvement over 10.3. From what I've read so far, and I've looked in to it quite a bit, there are no features of 10.5 that would motivate me to get it. There are some neat new features and some worthwhile improvements to the standard Apple programs that would be useful, but I'm happy and comfortable doing things in ways that are becoming old fashioned, like putting things where they belong rather than having to do searches to look for them. I don't go for eye candy like the transparent Dock. That's just silly. I guess I'm getting old, because some of what is new in 10.5 strikes me as excessive visual stimulation for people with a shorter attention span that mine. I do backups by hand also, and I don't like the files to be in a special format or readable by some special program. I did start using Carbon Copy Cloner recently and I like that a lot.

Re: [CGUYS] Update OS X 10.3.9 to 10.5?
I often would skip a major upgrade. Apple does it in such a way that you have no problems skipping a generation of the OS. I would feel perfectly safe in going from 10.3.9 to 10.5.

Re: [CGUYS] Update OS X 10.3.9 to 10.5?
10.5, according to the NYT tech writer, is an evolutionary, not revolutionary upgrade. About what Vista turned out compared to XP. (Vista sales have peaked over the summer and are slowing. Big yawn.) I guess a major release is what ever you crack it up to be. Since Apple has been bringing the new releases about every 12-18 months, they must be more incremental. By comparison, Microsoft waited so long between XP and Vista and then dropped so many new features before launch, Vista was in danger of dissipating. Apple focuses on a few big new features along with many small improvements in each "major" release. The fix releases, 10.4.0 through 10.4.11, for example are free updates to 10.4. That said, I waited to buy a new upgrade from 10.3 to 10.5, skipping 10.4. Now I am really looking forward to the double update, with every improvement and new feature since 10.3!
