I'm a minimalist so I changed some habits with Leopard. Ditched Firefox for Safari+Saft+Pukka. I do keep Firefox around for certain things but 95% of my browsing is with Safari now and I love it. Didn't install VLC this time around as Perian covers most thinks except mkv files. I just transcode those to mp4 anyways. I've gone back to iChat over adium as I don't IM as much anymore. Didn't install iWork or Office or OpenOffice as I'm trying to use Google Docs exclusively now. How many workprocessor does a man need anyways? Opted out for VMware or Parallels this time around due to my Bootcamp partition. I boot to windows once every few months as it is. I think i would give VMware a serious try if I had the choice tho. Spotlight rocks now. No more Quicksilver for me. Good luck with the new iMac. I did a clean install with Leopard so I went thought this recently too.
