Why not? Everyone else is doing it:
PROS:
- Spotlight searches list your e-mail attachments as separate documents, which is great for me, as most of the documents that are on my network are also documents I've either sent or received.
- Mail Outbox is now a permanent fixture.
- Bulleted and numbered lists in Mail!
- Connected servers disconnect almost immediately when going offline. This used to be a huge headache on my laptop, as it would get very hang-ish for several minutes when I was connected to my office server and lost internet access.
- Thank god. Finally, one click performs an action in a background app, instead of having to click to bring the app to the foreground and THEN being able to click to perform the action. This has been noted elsewhere as being able to scroll background documents without bringing them to the foreground, but it's more than that.
- Notes notes notes. Okay, I get notes' integration into e-mail being a good thing. But why then is there a completely unrelated Stickies application AND a further unrelated notes application in Dashboard? I love notes. Love 'em. I desperately wanted system-wide notes - why can't I highlight text in any document, right-click, and select SAVE AS NOTE? Why can't I? Why can't I select a Safari page or part of a page and MAKE A NOTE FROM IT? Why doesn't the Stickies application access a central notes database? WTF, Apple??
- Still no consistency in apps when you close a window. Some quit the program (iPhoto), most don't.
- Why can't I remove servers from my sidebar? My work situation is that I have a ton of Macs connected to our network. I see the first four or five listed alphabetically, then I can click on "all" (or something like that...I'm not working right now), but why can't I see a list of favorite servers instead?
- (added 12:42 PM) Bulleted and numbered lists (see above) don't properly show up in .mac webmail. This has been a big issue with Mail; the way HTML mail is tagged in Mail doesn't properly render in other readers. I'm still testing (Outlook, Entourage, other webmails still to come), but this isn't encouraging.
- (added 6:09 PM) Can't get my friggin' iCal to sync between my master computer (desktop, still running Tiger) and my laptop running a clean install of Leopard.
- (added 11:28 AM on Sunday) I have Mail set to have Safari the default RSS reader; however, when I go to subscribe to an RSS feed in Safari, it asks me to subscribe in Mail.
- (added 1:40 PM on Sunday) The bullets, numbers and point size rendering works fine in Hotmail webmail. That's more encouraging. Bullets and numbers also work on the iPhone, but it deletes text size renders, which I'm sure is intentional.
NEUTRALS or UNDECIDEDS:
- General network behavior has changed. Not sure if this is good or bad. Unsunk iDisk now shows up as a server on my desktop, but (I believe) in Tiger, it didn't. I think I prefer the Tiger behavior, but I'm not certain.
