What Arik Hesseldahl loathes about Leopard

Writing for Business Week, Arik Hesseldahl list's Leopard's Time Machine as his top Leopard peeve. Particularly, when it comes to using Time Machine with Mac portables. Having Macbooks or Macbook Pros as your main system requires you to either carry an external drive with you all the time or have one setup at work. The lack of support networked drives, which was promised before Leopard's release.

Another feature that has earned Hesseldahl's loathing is the lack of visual consistency of Stacks. It would seem that Apple has taken the name too literally in that every time a new item is placed into the Stacks folder, the icon changes to look like that document or file. Visually appealing but annoying in the long run.
