Apple's new update scheme is annoying. It installs as normal through software update. I was reading up on some stuff online, so I selected 'restart: not now' Sometime later I restart, screen goes blue and all of a sudden my Mac tells me there is new software for me to install, and do I want to do this now or just restart. what? I already told it to install, why is it bothering me with this again? I click install, it does its thing and it pops up another message, telling me it will be updating boot caches now. sigh, would you just restart already? what is this, Windows? Leopard is nice so far, esthetic issues aside, but this did not impress me.

Folks, don't know if you covered this yet, but after installing, I experienced a HUGE conflict with a trial-version of GlowWorm I'd forgotten about. GlowWorm was literally using up 99.9 percent of my CPU power (YIKES). As you can imagine, things were crawling. It was a bear to uninstall, but after I got some help from a friend with miles of Apple experience, it was removed it and the Leopard has been roaring happily on my MBP ever since.

Let me state for the record that I do NOT blame Apple for this. It's still early and I expected such bumps. I hope others understand this as well. Once you start using it, you WILL be impressed. ;)

Yup. Had Leopard going great on my 1.8mHz G5 for a whole Day And A Half, then this upgrade appeared that software update downloaded. No problem, right? WRONG. Now I'm stuck with an 18 pound boat anchor. As soon as the restart, my hard drive became LOST IN SPACE. I had a similar nightmare with lovely system 8 back in the day....I don't think I'm EVER going to buy another upgrade. I'll just buy new computers. SIGH. As much as I love Mac, I've a very frustrated customer, with little money left.....

System 8! Wow, that hits the nail on the head. Upgrading to System 8 was actually disappointing for me too...unfortunately, this experience surpasses that.
