I was running 10.4.11 and decided to upgrade to 10.5.8 last night. I just stacked OSes because I didn't feel like backing anything up. So far, no issues. Thinking I may give 10.6 a shot in a couple of days.

There are pros and cons of course. But upgrading has it's advantages
and at $29.00 if there are more positive benefits then the question is "why not"?

So far so good. Snow Leopard is working fine for me, but I don't have any mission critical programs on the Mac. Safari and Mail program definitely much faster and even Finder seems snappier. I like the new Expose and "scrollable" stacks is great ideal.

I'm amaze on how easy it is to install the the OS upgrade on a Mac vs. Windows...

Try updating from Windows XP to Windows 7....However, Windows 7 does look promising as far as Windows goes...
