Leopard Experience 3--Amazing Software Compatibility, Only a Few Snags--A slight Retraction

[10/29] [Updated] Leopard Experience 3--Amazing Software Compatibility, Only a Few Snags--A slight Retraction

All of our main applications work well, if not 100%, on Leopard: all recent Apple applications, of course, but also AppleWorks 6.2.9; Adobe Creative Suite 3 (Dreamweaver and Photoshop Extended) GoLive 8.0.1 and Photoshop Elements 4.0.1; Microsoft Office 2004 and v.X; SimpleFTP 3.1.2; NetNewsWire Lite 2.1.1; Mozilla's Camino, Firefox, SeaMonkey and Thunderbird; Pantone's hueyPRO 1.5; MUMenu 2.1.2; Opera 9.2.4; Oracle Calendar 10.1.2; Temperature Monitor 4.3; TypeIt4Me 3.1.1; and WeatherPop 2.6.1 plus many more.

There are only two applications/plugins we frequently use that have significant problems with Leopard: CoreDuoTemp 1.0 for keeping track of the Intel CPUs temperature, load and speed; and Aaron Harnly's Letterbox 0.16 that adds a side-by-side three-pane view to Apple Mail. Fortunately, Aaron Harnly's Web page says he's working on a Leopard version.

Update: Since posting this article, we've had a number unexpected quits in Dreamweaver CS3, several per day, so we now save very often while looking forward to an update from Adobe. We've also discovered that our iSight camera no longer works with iVisit 3.7.1--a new video framework is probably required as when we moved from Panther to Tiger. Parallels did not work either and the new "Leopard compatible" beta Build 5540 caused kernel panics. [Bill Fox]
