Wow, I have just installed Leopard last Friday and I must say that it is da BOMB! One of the greatest OS X to be developed by Apple yet ... 300+ new features, and I've only discovered like 10 of them ... more to be discovered it seems ... Oh, and to demystify some questions posted earlier ...

1. If you buy a MB/MBP now, you'll only get Tiger pre-installed. The guy at Machines@Mid Valley told me that they will give you a coupon where once Leopard came pre-installed with Mac hardwares, you can claim a copy of the Install DVD provided that you purchase a Mac after Leopard has been launched.

2. Time Machine does not necessarily need an external HDD, but it would be best to use Time Machine with one since the backups are much more safer from damage if it is not part of the machine.

3. There is no serial numbers that you have to key in during the installation, but you are encouraged to perform a first time registration with the Apple server once Leopard has been successfully installed (requires an internet connection).

4. The OS X 10.5 Install DVD is BOTH an upgrade and a clean install disc, so you choose whether you want to upgrade from Tiger or erase everything and start over from scratch. Personally, I would perform a clean install every time a major release is available. Minimizes problems with performance later on.

Hi everyone, wanna ask a question as my english isnt that good. I'm curious in the 2nd page of the update form the part where they state

QTY : (    )  x  Rm395  = (                      )

i tot it was Rm 39 for up to date order, but how come Rm395?

anyone send the form alreayd ? thanks hope you guys could help me

Have called Machines MV. They didn't mention about the coupon at all. Trying to ask them, they say no, no such thing, but you can get a free copy of Leopard by paying the RM 39 postage fees, and wait for 1 weeks or more. Have to wait one week is really painful, coz buy a new mac now but without new OS.

Can Mac OSX 10.5 be installed using AMD processor? I see processor requirement is either PowerPC or Intel. When I see Intel, I was hoping it can run under AMD as well. So can it?

Wow Leopard on Hackintosh rocks. To be honest with you...Its pretty good on my Hackintosh. I am now thinking of cloning my mac mini's HDD (which has Leopard installed) and put it on my iBook

you've got that option to do an upgrade, but I would prefer to do a clean reinstall. Every single upgrade of OS X that I've encountered before tends to have a horrible slowdown for some reason, where the clean reinstall does not have.

Typing this on my new Macbook, the stocks already in with Drop-In Leopard DVDs. Dont have to mess with sending tha t PDF form and do the waiting game for the disc to arrive.

guys i m lost right now...
i upgraded my tiger last 2 days...
i was wondering is there a way for me to install the ilife that came with my system on leopard?
i m not sure if this is possible...anyway i m juz asking here...
no budget yet to get ilife08...
thanks.

does that mean  the rm 39 disc has an option of doing install, instead of upgrade only?
coz some forummers mentioned that it can only do upgrade.
and some forummers said after upgrade got problem...

can i buy the leopard dvd n install to my ibook g4?

Its a tragedy that i had to get my macbook on early september, only to know that the leopard release date was confirmed to be late october. No regrets, but i really hope that apple will be lenient with clients like us, though if they are lenient with us, others will fork in their "suggestions".

They've never been in the past.

There's no reason to think they'll change this time either.

You could always hold out on upgrading if you're the eternal optimist.

But I'd pony-up on the upgrade price if I were you.
