Welcome to the future - Mac OS Leopard

Yesterday I tried the new un-released Mac OS Leopard. It has not been released in the market yet...where did i get it?you don't want to know where did I get it. Anyway, I'm still using my old PowerBook G4 867MHz to load the Leopard. Apple has not released the spec requirement yet for leopard but some speculations says that the minimum processor recommended is 800Mhz which makes my PowerBook almost fall of the edge. The video RAM recommended is 32Mb or more which makes my machine write on the edge. The first impression that I get from the new Leopard, is slow. Of course it is slow, cause I think my machine is not powerful enough to run such a huge OS. Especially when I browse the new finder cover-flow, it opens every documents that you pass through which makes my 640Ram roaring like crazy. But I like the new desktop look with the transparent top bar and the new reflective dock. And also the new feature call spaces, which I think its similar to expose but instead of the windows, you can expose the whole screen. All in all, I think there are so much leopard function that I can't fully use in my machine, so I guess I will stick to my Tiger for now. And maybe if I get a new machine, I will use the new Leopard...A new 15inch PowerBook will be a very nice accessories for my desk...hehehe...
