Others have already posted some in this thread. Those were the ones I was referring to.

Look, I'm not an Apple basher (except for their misguided previous policy of being the monopolistic producer of their boxes), I just find it funny that the system/OS that is supposed to be easy, reliable, virus-free, and user-friendly is causing problems when people try to upgrade to a new version OS.

It's completely against the convential wisdom and Apple's marketing message (as well as the fanboy testaments). That's funny. I feel sorry for those users that are experiencing the pain associated with problematic installs, but the big picture is funny - perhaps ironic would be a better word?

Didn't mean to start a fight by pointing out the obvious. I'll not comment on Apple products again (unless I love it, of course).

OS upgrades, no matter the system, should not be done by the general masses IMO.

I'm just funning you guys...I have a lot of respect for Apple and really considered it for my next system. Especially since I needed to learn another OS like Vista after XP. The deal killer was the lack of support for Blue-Ray and HD-DVD. Now that I've had the weekend to play with Vista I'm happy with the decision. My system is business/pleasure in my home office and the change to Apple would have been drastic and time intensive. Apple's success has kept Microsoft honest (well...at least a little). Had it not been for the popularity and visual coolness of Tiger, Vista and XP before that would have been awful static and dull like previous versions of Windows.

What does crack me up is the fact that Apple Support seemed to come through like most other clueless hardware/software companies. Example...Let's give them bogus excuses until we figure out what is really going on.

Nice to see the hype is just that...Hype.

my battery life seems to be significantly longer, anybody else noticed this?

My Leopard is working great now and MUCH faster. The problem I had was with my hard drive, not Leopard. I can tell you this: I have spent WAY more time troubleshooting windows than mac, period. I'm not an Apple freak I just want get things done on my computer, not fix things all the time.

I'm using Intex 486DX2 66MHZ am I out of luck too?

I'm sorry what do u mean "Especially since I needed to learn another OS like Vista after XP." whats there to learn? It' s very similar to XP with a few visual enhancements ???

There are some search functions and organizational enhancements which are different than XP. I really enjoy the visual enhancments...They alone make the upgrade worthwhile.

With every upgrade there is a learning curve and figuring out the new system takes time (time is money). That is why I considered Apple in the first place...If I need to spend time on a new operating system that seems like the best time to change to another platform.

You should also take into consideration how much time it will take to maintain a system. With that in mind i gotta say that's where mac's shine. That's the beauty of it. Once it's set up that's it. It's pretty much trouble free.
