Fast User Switching is a godsend for people that have two girls in the house using the laptops and always somehow manage to go to the Cellar (when you've told them NOT to) and fuck up your cookies. Just teach 'em how to use fast user switching.
Exposé does indeed rule (thats alt-ee for you, mbpark). Holy smokes is it awesome. I thought it was kinda one of these buzzword features reading about it, but using it... jesus. It's awesome.
Panther is noticeably faster on my PMG4 dual 1.42GHz. I've got it installed on all my machines except the PMG4 dual 800MHz (that'd be the iBook 800MHz, iMac G4 800MHz, PowerBook G4 15" 1GHz and the PMG4 dual 1.42GHz).
It looks nicer, and a lot of apps have been redesigned (Disk Utility and Software Update are the two I've been using most).
The new Finder is nice too. I like it.
Overall, I give this upgrade 10/10. I'd give Jaguar 10/10 too. We'll see how the next one is.
