As a developer i was heavily dependend on windows in parallels too. It was risky but it worked. I still have occassional hazzles though, like the dotmacsyncclient eating up ALL memory for no apparent reason. but i just keep an Terminal window open to kill that little bas..rd in that case. The add-ons in leopard still outweigh my problems by far. The "not hanging" when server ist disconnected feature in Finder is worth the upgrade for me alone. I upgraded on the 28th of October.

I'm only waiting for a new driver from HP, for the Scanjet 8270... But it is quite normal, HP does a terrible job, everytime, again and again. I'm getting used to it actually. Concerning Apple's Leopard, I think that is one of the best upgrades ever. I haven't seen any problem at all. And as a systemadmin of 200 Macs, I think that is quite unusual. No problems at this moment.

It has been a pretty smooth ride for me. Parallels has worked fine since day 1 as well by the way. Nonetheless, I welcome the security update (though I wouldn't say it came at the Tail End of december - still 2 weeks to go in this month).

I've had enough issues to force me to swear off any future OS upgrades until they reach x.x.5 or later. Eh, I still wish I’d waited.
