Some of the transparency seems silly
Especially the menu bar but I think there is an app out there that will get rid of that for you. I haven't used Leopard so I cannot attest to liking it's transparency, or not, but it does seem like some of it would be distracting.

I was at the Quark Symposium Expo yesterday and they did a demo of Windows Vista running Quark which ended up just being a Vista demo, but I have got to say the Aero interface is god-awful and distracting, IMO. I can't imagine designing, or doing much anything else in Vista, without first turning off Aero. Sure, it looks cool when you show it to someone, but after the coolness wears off, what's the point again?

Transparency has it's place, but lets keep it out of things that don't matter like windows and menu bars.
