I have always copied files across the network since the first time I saw that happen in NT4. It is a nasty one but it is the kind of like"Perfect Storm" of bugs and Apple should have found it out before.
I don't know about Fiery have not tested one in a while, but they "Improved" the printing settings and manager and in my setup it prints faster.

I would highly recommend testing things out on one machine first.
I'm also starting to notice some possible Leopard-related instabilities in AC when running multiple copies. Nothing concrete yet but i have had keys stop working, elements not stretching when stretched, etc. Running only 1 copy has been very stable though... and quick

Spaces is great, I had tried other "spaces" like shareware years ago, but now I think I am convinced.
The new dock is eye candy, I always have it hidden and to be honest I don't see the problem with it.
The new mail is great and iCal has a new clean look to it.
Everything seems a bit snappier, but that could be the new machine as well I guess.
Stacks is good and bad. There should be a third option for the old way that worked very well for drilling down into your folders.
all in all very happy, and as they say "a change is as good as a holiday"... and I haven't had a holiday for a while.

Final veredict - No regrets would hate going back to 10.4. If you can do without you can since there is nothing that will WOW you but all the little improvements by themselves look minor but together they are pretty nice. 10.5 can be summarized as a "power user" or "developer" upgrade, regular people might not be impressed.ok - you have me convinced. thanks again for your input.
cheers!

If I can control the music server (a mini) then that would be great. I have the free trial with Leopard, but haven't looked into it.

Within a network i can take over my MBP and control it just by selecting the share screen button in the FInder, AFAIK you don't need .mac for that. IF you have used any VNC software (chicken or remote pc) it is on par, slow but usable. I don't know if the new frontrow is network aware but it is worth a shot.
The third connection option , vnc tunnel using .Mac, I have not tried.

Oh, and your question about Skype/iChat being in another space, you need to think of it as Mac's fancy way of using the "Command-H" (Hide) feature. If you were in Skype, and you hid it, you'd still expect it to be logged on, you just hid it. THAT is what Spaces really is. It isn't like accounts where it is a separate computer in a way.

I love the searchable help and I love that it works in ANY app. Note the blue arrow showing the first hit in the menu.

thanks for all of your comments.
cheers!
