Despite Apple's efforts to restrict seeding to select individuals, it appears that the final build of Leopard has made its way outside of Apple. One individual who has claimed to have installed the final version of Leopard on their iMac posted his experience. The Mac OS X upgrade took 30 minutes and these were his first impressions:
• All my applications and settings were retained • Time Machine asked me on the first time I started in leopard, which of my five external Hard Drives should be used for backups. I didn't have to configure anything else • When I started Mail for the first time, it had to upgrade the mail database. After that, Mail is blazing fast! • I told Mail to import my RSS Feeds from Safari but that didn't work! • Reading RSS in Mail is nice to have • Tasks in Mail appear even if completed. That might be a bit distracting for some people • Mail is FAST! Seeing is believing! • Finder: Well, the first time it ran, it hanged! After killing the process, I was amazed by the speed and coverflow! • Quick View: COOL - GREAT FEATURE • Safari is blazing fast! • .mac has the option to synchronize settings and Dock items • Stacks: I am not impressed. I like the downloads stack though. I had to manually change the path in Mail and Safari though! • Spaces: I created 4 Spaces and I find it a very cool feature, especially the live ala expose preview • Applications start instantly, especially iLife and iWork! • iCal is much better. There is an inline editor and an event drop box now • Contacts is more or less the same • iTunes seems much faster than before
