As time has gone on, I have gotten less and less excited about Leopard the operating system. A 3D dock and more transparency doesn't do that much for me. Having "Spaces" instead of Virtue will be nice to have.

As a developer, having Objective C 2.0, and new APIs such as Core Animation is going to be good.

This is where my excitement peaks. It's all about the apps. Most of my favourite apps haven't seen a release for a bloody year! All of the developers are working on wicked cool Leapard stuff, and they can't get it out of the door until Leopard ships. I have recently seen a few sneak peaks, and WOW, we are in for some great updates, and new applications all coming out on Leopard day.

So, a bit of a "eh" for the OS, but an "Oh yeah" for the new apps!
