As Final Cut editors, our big deal is a true 64-bit OS. This should allow Final Cut to eventually take advantage of more RAM than it does at the moment. (Not instantly, but eventually.)
As for me, my 2 big favorite features are 'Time Machine' and 'Quick Look.'
Others are excited about 'Spaces,' 'iChat Screen Sharing,' and the final version of 'Boot Camp.'
And then there's the updating of things like Mail and Finder and what have you and some 300 other odd little improvements.

I'[gary adcock]"MAKE SURE your keychain is is correctly called either {the default}
OR <(yourlogin).keychain> so that the passwords are correctly passed to the updated system."
Gary,
This is confusing. I don't entirely get Keychain thing even after reading the entire help file.
1) How do you export/import if you're doing a clean install to a fresh hard drive?
2) And, where is it named, as in the example you gave above?
TIA,
David

okay, so now that the iphone is out of the way, and they've got leopard shipping, do you think apple can allocate some resources to lowly old FCP??? :)
i know there are only 800,000 user worldwide, but maybe SOME of the prgrammers from leopard could look at media management?....or nesting?.....or transisions?,,,,,,etc etc.

I read an article last week that said Leopard is only for Macs with 1gig processor or faster. That all our old Macs sitting on desks that are slower than 1gig processor are now certified junk. Is it true?? Is it "boat anchor" time..

From the Apple website:
minimum system requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
* 512MB of memory
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple's .Mac service; fees apply.

That is crazy talk, I have yet to see a new OS that makes old systems that are not up to spec stop working. If they are working today they will work the same on Oct 27th. They may not be able to be upgraded but they still work. I for one have a G4 867 running OS9 that I use as an encoding and DLT system.
OS's have to move on, to move on they need to leave somethings in the dust, but a lot of work can still be done in the dust.

I don't think that's it. Originally it was just bundled with their SanMP software, which was $1000 a seat. Literally a week after the Leopard build 377A screenshots came out showing the Apple initiator, they made the initiator available for free. I think that's really cool of them. Microsoft gives their initator away for free, and the initiators for Linux and BSD are free. So I don't think it's unusual.
ATTO still charges like $500 for their Mac initiator, and I've had just as many problems with that one. From what I understand, iSCSI is extremely complicated and there are very loose standards involved. Most target software is designed to work with the Microsoft Initiator, hence why the choices aren't very good for a Mac.
From what I understand, Openfiler actually does work with the SNS Initiator (Openfiler is a free NAS/iSCSI solution).
Anyway, back to the topic, every single Leopard build since 377A has not had the initiator. So I have a feeling we're not getting it. Or it may be exclusive to OSX Leopard Server.
