Easier downloading in Safari
So for example, when you drag a link to the desktop, and press a modifier key, it downloads the item, rather than putting a link

Don't know if you know this or not, but if you option-click on a link, it automatically downloads to your desktop. Though it would be kinda cool to be able to option-drag links to wherever you wanted them...

Isn't FAT the same as NTFS? (if I'm wrong sorry)

I've always wanted an option to have the menu bar auto-hide (without using third party apps to achieve it).

If leopard had all this stuff, it would be pretty neat, yeah?
About the menu bar hiding:
This would be cool if it had it, but I hope leopard fixes the menu bar hide/show transitions aswell. If you look, the menu bar goes in, but the menu bar extensions stay, and just dissapear instead of fading.

I've wanted this forever. Mac apps are supposed to do the thing you most expect, and when you drag a file download link to the Finder, actually downloading that file is what I expect. It should at least be possible with a modifier key.
The best thing I like about Omniweb is that I can set individual download folders for each site. Makes sense, since I almost always download specific kinds of files from specific sites — icons from Iconfactory, torrent files from Demonoid, etc.

Ooh, good one. That includes NTFS live partitioning so you can resize your Boot Camp partition without having to reinstall Windows from scratch afterwards.

Because I know way too many people who have had things ****ed up by partitioning. If you're going to partition, you better have a backup. And if you're all backed up anyway, I can't see any significant benefits to live partitioning over normal partitioning. It basically just encourages people to hose their disks.

well if apple wrote perfect software for this, it would be good. (and they also placed dialogs telling them to backup)

Again: The people who have legitimate uses for partitioning (mainly developers) can use third party tools that allow this. Partitioning is useless for 98% of users, so why include a feature that the average user is likely to screw up with?

Obviously I've backed up before I repartition. Nevertheless live repartitioning saves me the time it takes to copy back from the backup. That's two hours time saved right there.

Considering Boot Camp utilizes live partitioning and it's been a hidden feature accessed via terminal since 10.4.6, I don't see why Apple wouldn't include this with 10.5.

Yeah, diskutil resizeVolume does it. Though if I recall, it only works with Intel Mac-formatted (that is, GUID Partition Table) disks.

I just want G3 support and some small tweaks, maybe a billion times better support for third-party hardware would be nice (Support for all third party graphics cards and CD drives, as long as it fits and is compatible with your system.
A redone look would be nice and I hope that rumor about iLife coming with Leopard is true.
I also want Leopard to be installable on homebuilt PC's. That probably won't happen for a hundred years.

My mom iMac is a Summer 2001 revision, and I don't want it to be "obsolete" just yet. She doesn't have the funding to buy a new one quite yet.
I just upgraded it to 10.4 and threw another 256MB of RAM.

What Mac-compatible graphics cards is Tiger not compatible with?

99.9% of graphics cards purchased at Best Buy, Circuit City, etc. are not compatible with the MacOS (try throwing a hunky-dork PC graphics card) and all you will get is white lines at startup.

Yep, that's my point. They are not Mac-compatible, as far as I'm aware. They're meant for BIOS-based platforms.

Ok, well, I've compiled a list of all the suggestions people have made for leopard and will be creating a neatly ordered list of it for easy reading tomorrow morning.
Stay tuned.

It would be cool if Leopard looked a lot more like Windows Vista. I like the aero glass interface and black gloss accents. TIger is looking old.

No, the worst part about those windows is the static "streaks" that are not even attached to the windows when you move them around. Can't even be turned off!! Arrgh!

Agreed, those streaks are suppose to simulate a window pane with light reflecting from the sun. Microsoft is stupid but I'm sure Apple will get it right in Leopard, but I am tired of the brush metal and blue gel scroll bars.
