I’ll be waiting a week or so to update, although I’m sure my update server has probably already downloaded it.

That's nice to hear. 10.5.7 was a bloody disaster for me. I hope they don't break X11 again.

What was the problem? I came back to Apple after having XP for 4 years (5 years Apple before that). Don’t see a lot of difference and a few things which are even clunkier than XP but nothing major.

The default font was changed (I still haven't gotten that fixed) and the keyboard mapping was totally hosed. I couldn't type anything into an xterm until I installed a new X11 server .dmg.

Showstopper for me because I require X11 for work (thank God I don't have to use Stone Knives and Bearskins).
