TidBITS#902/29-Oct-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/902>

  With the release of Apple's latest major operating system version,
  this week's issue focuses on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, about which
  we've also published five Take Control ebooks. Joe Kissell leads off
  with a look at the installation process and then climbs into Time
  Machine to note what ended up in the final version compared to what
  was promised earlier this year. Glenn Fleishman digs into the major
  changes in Leopard's file sharing, and shows how screen sharing can
  work between Macs running Leopard and those running Tiger. Matt
  Neuburg introduces Spaces and explains why Apple's virtual desktop
  implementation may be the most important feature of Leopard. As much
  as he likes Spaces, Matt also finds numerous frustrations with
  Leopard to share. We also note some important early updates, such as
  Login and Keychain Update 1.0, an installation problem with
  Unsanity's Application Enhancer, a problem with Time Machine and
  Aperture, a possible security vulnerability in the Back to My Mac
  feature, and a slew of Leopard compatibility updates in iLife and
  other components.
