Well one 10.5 bug seems to be back with 10.5.7. Namely the bug when using Expose to view all open windows, it?ll leave some behind in their original positions.
Quite an unpleasant bug that renders this Expose function useless.
Can anyone else confirm this bug?

"is a whopping 729MB. Even on a super-fast FIOS connection, it took about a few minutes to download the update"
You don't know how lucky you are. In South Africa, that's going to take me over an hour to download, and it's about one third of my total data cap for the month.

First gen dual 2.0GHz PowerMac G5 (manufactured Sept 2003) upgraded over the years with bigger, faster drives, 6GB RAM and a Radeon X800XT graphics card.
Aside from Disk Utility completely failing to0 launch and wake from sleep not yet working, I am experienceing a far far faster user experience than before. Most notably in Safari 4 and Aperture 2.1.3.
I have a thread with details in Apple support forums, but let's just say that the performance uptick is 100+% in loading large 14 bit RAW files and way more than that in other functions. I've been looking to upgrade my Mac due to sluggish performance in Aperture (I'm a photographer) but this update unlocked the potential that had been hiding there all along (I have to assume). Bravo Apple!

Can other 2.16GHz Macbook2,1 owners confirm that this update opened up the full 4GB of maxed memory instead of capping it at 3GB even with 4GB installed? I have one of those Macbooks, and since this update OS X, Activity Monitor, iStat and command line 'top' are all now reporting 4GB. Or did you always see 4GB in those areas? I could have sworn I saw some 3GB info before this update.
