Havent had crash problems with Leopard, and in fact I am doing more intensive stuff on the book in the last 2 months than I have earlier.
And as Jace said, the cosmetic changes alone are worth it.
Just for the autorecognition of addresses as map addresses and the show on map service, and the multitabbed dictionary/thesaurus/wikipedia version of the dictionary i'd more than gladly change
My install experiences with Leopard have been bad. First, I had to re-install the OS once. And now, I am getting intermittent crashes on Terminal.app. Even iTerm refuses to startup. A reboot does seem to get things working. The past two days I have been seeing a new oddity, with the menubar drop down menu appearing in the middle of the screen. ah well! I guess I need to live with it. 10.4.11 killed my system.
>>>If you don’t have a Mac, do yourself a huge favor and get one
This weekend I happened to walk in to an apple store in Forum Mall, Bangalore. When asked about the prices i got to know the high end Mac notebook cost about 80k. When I say high end I mean a 2.2 Ghz Processor with 1 Gb Ram and 160 Gb Hard Disk and a VGA camera built in. With the same 80k I can get the best off the shelf laptop that runs Windows Xp (Yes i know Vista sucks I love Xp).
But anyways I would still love to own a MAC some day, Give the current price I guess i can wait for some more time.

Any other reason apart from the price, I do understand the price difference is huge considering the US and Indian Market, But any other factor that makes you say that?
Apple offers international warranty on all portable devices (defined as any device that can operate without a power cord). Apple India has huge markup, particularly at the high end of the range, where it exceeds the cost of a one day trip to another country to buy a Mac.

It's not been long enough to discuss stability, but I guess it's the typical .0 syndrome.

I do not use the other cosmetic enhancements.
