I really like Apple TV but i have one beef and i cant believe that apple hasnt allowed us to do it... it seems like a simple thing...
that is allow us to use our movie posters from our movies as the screen saver
you can use there pictures your pictures.... album art.... why not movie art.... I would even settle for all media art movies and music......
but im much more impressed with my own movie collection then my music one

I have had no problems with Leopard. Sure, there has been a few annoyances, but no more than I had become used to under Tiger. With the exception of one third-party program, the transition was nearly painless.
Oh yea... I don't use wireless! As a security geek, I refuse to use it and paid to have my house wired so I don't have to use wireless. However, I am having bluetooth problems while sync'ing my Palm.
I like the fix to Stacks. I want to use it to reorder my task bar. The new list feature is something I would have liked it from the beginning.
I wish I had better control over Time Machine. I like the concept--and I do not need to create a boot volume. But I would like to have a better interface to control what is downloaded, excluded, and all of the other parameters without having to wrestle with the .plist file.
I wish there was hard link support from the Finder.
I wish there was an option in Finder "Open Terminal Here" and you would be put into the directory you're viewing.
I wish Safari Block worked properly!
When I went to eject a disk and couldn't because it was "busy," I wish it would tell me why.

I've experienced nothing but problems since my Leopard upgrade - wireless issues that even 10.5.2 didn't fix, software incompatibilities, and the like. Apple really let me down.
