Are You Worried About Snow Leopard’s Quirks?

It’s not a completely new OS in name or aesthetic, but the guts of Snow Leopard are radically different enough you may or may not be worried about upgrading right away.

There are minor issues with software compatibility, bugs and a virus or two. Some even reported that they lost their data during the upgrade process.

Well, how worried are you? Enough to delay the upgrade for a few weeks? Or are you going to do it the second you get home with the disc this weekend? Or somewhere in between?

    “Brought to you by Microsoft Office” – doesn’t that seem a little odd?

    I’m waiting it out until the 10.6.1 update.

    I installed Snow Leopard yesterday.
    So far, so good. Things are loading faster, I’ve got more room on the HDD and Expose is just that bit more useful. All my data seems to be intact.

    I installed yesterday, and I think it’s fantastic – faster and more efficient.
    I found a bonus that I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere – SL comes with a new version of Boot Camp that allows for trackpad clicking and right-click functionality in Windows, something many people have wanted for a long time! It also allows Windows to access the Mac HD to read and transfer files.
    I solved the problem about losing data by doing a clean install, which is really what I personally recommend to anyone rather than upgrade.
