Very informative — not too long considering all of the new features. I'm sold and ready to upgrade.

Places?? Surely you mean Spaces…

ex ped: No, I meant Places. It's one of the new categories on the finder sidebar, along with Devices and Shared. –Philip Elmer-DeWitt

I watched it twice and sent the link to a number of people. My attention span is that of an adult who grew up with actual books, lectures, classical music concerts and Iive in the country with wild animals who do not necessarily do their tricks and acitivites at my command…I am 66 and if I can concentrate on the demo after all those neurons have dropped off into my spinal fluid over the years,I figure it is not unduly slow.On the contrary, I think that the demo moves at a careful pace that allows one to actually get something from the demonstration!

To Mark in Tucson: using "Winholes" is definitely crude. Did not Gates bail out Apple?

I felt that the video was quite long too, but worth it.

True, some of the features in leopard are a little advanced, but I think that's also what we said about vista, tiger and all of the OS's before it. Good post.

FYI, I've blogged this over at TheGrahamBaileyBlog with a discussion.

Yes it was a bit long but there's a lot to cover. It sold me on the upgrade. I just hope MS doesn’t copy too much, I could b out of work at my MS based job….

Having used Mac for about 20 years (I also use Windows), it is still a great learning experience to watch the Apple presentation and discover the features that I might have missed.

Yes, some might think it long, but there is not a minute of wasted band-width.

Like so many 'Wags' today, the only people who will find something to dislike, are those who are paid to do so.

One question. How is Safari 'Crippled'?

I use it on both my Mac and Windows machine. It is beta, but I still find it more intuitive than IE6 or IE7.

If the largest complaint is about Safari, use FireFox.

It will take MS years to copy features, security, and power of 10.5. Bad news is by then Apple will be releasing 10.7 or, if MS past performance is an indicator, 10.9.

I just watched it and thought it was a bit long, but necessary to get the message across. I was most impressed with the new mail features which brings the package from well back to the front of the pack!

"cloying up-beat tone"?

No, just very professional and clean.
