I'm not sure I should have been expecting anything extravagant, but for £25 I did expect to notice something at least! I suspect it's like the snow we always get in the UK...which is always lacking a bit.
I was frustrated at first by the fact that my Mac refused to boot from the disc that was provided. I had to take a copy of it and burn a new one on my desktop (Windows 7 recognises it...how'd you like them Apples?).
I then spent 45 mins or so installing it (choosing an upgrade over a fresh install mainly because I could not be arsed with the set up of all my apps again).
Then it booted up for the first time and...well, it looks the same as it did before.
Apart from a bit more free space on my hard drive (around 7GB I think) I haven't seen any real difference.
Oh...there is a new default background, which is just slightly different to the previous (Leopard) default background (see below), but I'm not sure this justifies the £25 spent.

EDIT: Having used it for another day, I do have to say that it feels a little nippier than its previous incarnation, and not just the file exploring. Things like the extraction of .rar files and the opening of some apps do seem to be that little bit faster. Suffice it to say, it's redeemed itself (at least a little bit) in my opinion.
