LOVE getting printer drivers via SWU. It's such a hassle sometimes through the manufacturers' sites. Hopefully Apple has it down.

Also paves the way to third party downloads. This will tie in well with the application signing for security measures.

Support in Textedit of MS Office and OO.org? AWESOME! Even basic text editors should be compliant in these filetypes too :D
Other than that, things like a non-beta Bootcamp are good for me!

A good pick. Sometimes the little features, tweaks and improvements can make as much difference as the headline items.
Maybe I'm being swept along on the hype, but in recent weeks I've been wondering why any home user would want to use anything other than a Mac once Leopard is introduced. They're so far ahead of Windows Vista in every single respect.
If there is any justice in the world, then Apple should really significantly eat into MS's home marketshare over the next year or two.
Also, I'm sick of being asked to set-up & fix Windoze PCs belonging to friends, family and colleagues. If they all just switched to Mac then my life would be way easier, and so would theirs.
There's my £0.02p.

As long as there is no java6 Leopard is completely useless for me and thousands of other developers. I'm not going to spend my money on Leopard as long as there is no confirmation of Java support..

I was just trying to scroll a window in the background yesterday while taking notes for a class. It seems intuitive so Im glad it was added to the list of improvements!

"Guest log in"?
I think I've already done that by creating a "guest" user account with no password required.
