I'm a big fan of waiting to upgrade my computer and/or software and/or hardware and letting those who have to be on the "bleeding edge" bleed on my behalf.
On Friday, Apple released its newest Mac operating software, code-named "Leopard." A lot of people - and I mean a LOT of people - eagerly lined up for the $129 upgrade and tried installing it.
To be fair, I suspect that a lot of those people installed it just fine.
Then there were the horror stories.
I have two Macs (and two Dells; I'm an equal opportunity addict). I will be upgrading them to Leopard.
Eventually. Maybe...three to six months?
My sympathies and thanks to the bleeding edge experimenters who will eventually, with Apple's help, get things to work properly for the rest of us. As one frustrated poster on that thread observed, "This is the most Windows-like experience I've had on a Mac. This upgrade appears to have finally closed the gap between the MacOS and Vista."
Ouch.
