mine is here and I am just installing now ... probably not the best thing to do after 4 bottles of peroni but hey ho!

EDIT Process:

Disk in & selected install OSX 10.5 Leapord
Hung during the shutdown (VMWare Fusion Stopped it!) so hard reboot
Booted back up of DVD
Default option was to upgrade needing 5.5gb of space!
Changed to Erase and Install needing something like 12gb of space - glad I have a macbook pro now!
First estimate was a 50 minute install which quickly dropped to 35 mintes - Annoying that power saver kicks in whilst running even though on mains (come on apple) - Last 5 minutes seem to take an age!
Finally a big green tick with a "you must restart" which it does itself in 30 seconds
reboots into a very nice movie of "Welcomes" in lots of langauges
Then select country and keyboards, Do you want to transfer data?
Network setup
Apple ID & Registration information
Create logon account and then snapshot for image (not!)
Time zone, Date and Time
Then a don't forget to register
All complete!

Fairly boring install process - No "I am doing this bit" just a progress bar with no %age shown! Time remaining about a xx minutes that's it - doesn't even say which Mac OS X it's installing!

First impressions - It's OK (Nah its cool) Safari 3 is on and not beta

And that boys and girls is my leapord unleashed!
