No, it’s not my new pet. It is actually the new cat that Apple released yesterday. I have been using it for a good day now and I say it is maybe worth the $130. There aren’t any big features that stick out but it is the small little improvements that make the overall computing experience so much better. One thing that I like the best is spaces. Now I know that there were/are 3d party applications for Tiger that will do a similar thing but Apple just makes it so much better and since I only have a 12″ screen it is perfect to have iTunes, Mail, iCal on a separate space. You got to see it to appreciate it. Anyway overall Leopard is just a little bit smoother with a lot of small tweaks….it still wont wash your dishes so don’t expect a huge difference between Tiger and Leopard.

In conclusion if you get a student discount on Leopard go for it….if you have to pay $130 for it I would say just wait till you get a new Mac or try it out before you buy it.
