Buzz on Leopard is mostly quite positive as we roll into the first full week of its availability on the market. That’s mostly, mind. R.L. Pryor, owner of ThinkMac Software and creator of such shareware gems as NewsLife and InstantGallery, has a few complaints about the UI in Leopard. I’ll share just one, then you must click through for more. Absolutely hysterical.
Stars in their eyes: Where do the stars end and the status lights begin? I suppose it could be worse, no one buy Steve Jobs one of those infinity mirrors OK?
Thanks, Andrew!

I have to say, Stacks is absolutely useless. You can’t even turn the feature off, or even chose to have the contents of a folder in the dock displayed as a contextual menu.
As a lot of people do, I put my Applications folder in the dock so I can easily access all my applications at the click of a mouse. But with stacks, I cannot see every application and in order to open one not displayed, I must open the folder itself.
It’s a step back. Sure it looks cool, but it is almost Vista-worthy… I hope it is fixed in an update.
The UI works fine on my intel iMac but turned my Powerbook into a paperweight. Browsing the Apple support discussions shows that Leopard may be hazardous to a Powerbook’s health. I’m stuck in install hell as I cannot boot at all, cannot reinstall to 10.4, cannot do anything.
