The release of Leopard is the big news this week. We’ve both installed it and give our impressions from a couple of days worth of playing around with it. Topics covered include upgrading, DTrace, networking, Applescript and of course the eye candy.

Interesting links talked about in the show:

Leopard impressions

I’ve just updated my MacBook to Leopard. A few quick impressions:

  • Software Update is broken. Somebody failed to put the catalog file on the update server:
