Mac OS X Leopard 9A581's Dock Visual Tweaks [Updated]
Apple's Gold Master (Retail) version of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard has at least one visual tweak over the developer seeds. It appears Apple has listened to user feedback about the visual inconsistency with dock items appearing on a 3d shelf on the Left and Right side of the screen (old screenshot).

Apple has updated the Dock so that it has a 2-Dimensional appearance when it resides on the side of the screen. When residing on the bottom of the screen, the Dock retains the 3d shelf appearance.
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will officially launch on October 26th at 6 p.m. If you haven't already ordered online ($20 off), MacRumors readers are organizing meetups in their local regions.
Update: Apparently the same simple style can be used for the dock when it is on the bottom: screenshot

Awesome!!!! It's so good when Apple listen to us. Microsoft never listened to people like this (in my opinion).
10.5 seems all the sweeter.
And my first first post. :D

Wow, I actually kinda liked how it looked on the side--and that's where I use it :-P honestly not a big deal for me, though (I can get used to this look as well)

... but is it supposed to let you slide your apps underneath the dock like that?
I can't do that when the dock is at the bottom of the screen...
