Just to add on that: I converted to OSX in 2001 when it first appeared.
Before I was Irix/Linux and -alas- the relatively happy owner of a
SONY VAIO with Windows XP.
For 8 years I remained impressed. But, 10.5 has been a massive
disappointment after being spoiled for so long,
with stable working features. X11 implementation is bad; Spaces
breaks down all the time and is useless
at least when using two monitors; time machine is sad that it is
shipped without a proper scheduler;
some developer trouble with older versions and PPC; and my Safari
died during upgrade to 10.5.3 and
I cant install a new version for a week (I am at 10.5.3 but Safari
installer says I am at 10.5.2); and all the Stereo trouble.
I still think OSX is from a different planet than Vista and I still
prefer it for a personal machine compared to Linux,
but I liked being spoiled.

Hi Everyone,
I am writing everyone just to remind all those who are thinking of
upgrading to 10.5 that currently quad-buffered stereo will not work
for coot, pymol etc... since Apple has not done a good job with the
video drivers in Leopard. So if you would like to use 3D stereo
viewing, do not purchase any new Mac hardware since it will not run
OS X 10.4.
