10.5 Safari
This is Safari 5.x. By default, however, 10.5 comes bundled with Safari 3.

10.5 Classic Fail
One very crappy limitation of 10.5 is the removal of Classic application support. Even on a PowerPC based Macintosh such as this, classic Mac OS applications refuse to run. Oh sure, you can put in a 10.4 CD and the support files will fly happily into the OS, but it does nothing. Too bad, too.

10.5 Shutdown
Shutting down 10.5.

Conclusion:
This beats the crap out of Windows Vista, but there are a number of things about it that are weird. You still cannot cut and paste from the menu, even though keyboard shortcuts work fine. Spaces is nice, as is the CoverFlow view in the Finder, but Stacks needs a bit of work. And too bad Classic support is gone. Overall though, while Mac OS X didn't progress too much with this release, at least it didn't regress.
