Where did my topic go? I made one just like this yesterday, why was it deleted?

EDIT: Looks like it was merged. Nevermind.

Yep, I've merged them.

Installed this evening. I did an upgrade and it went well. seems speedy. Most every thing works fine. MS office is a little slower now. It did loose all my printers which was a major bummer!

what don't you like about it? So far it's no more or less useful than the previous dock IMO. I haven't used the stacks much, so I may change my mind!

What bugs me is the two-tone colours in the finder. THe blue rows are a little too dark, which is distracting. But that is minor, overall I am absolutely delighted so far.



I have a question re: Boot Camp.

When you install windows via boot camp, the mac then defaults to booting in WIndows all the time (you have to press alt explicitly choose Mac OS X if you want to use Mac). YOu can, of course, change this -- as I have -- in the system prefs, but why in the world would Apple make Windows the default boot option??

DO you think that is a bug, an oversight or intentional? it's been doing this since Boot Camp beta 1, so I guess it is intentional.

I have to get my external Dual Layer drive because the disc is Dual Layer, so I'll have to wait till tommorow to install .

How old is your DVD drive? All DVD-ROMs that I know of can read dual layer disks, just all dvd burners can't always burn dual layer disks.

I have the first generation of G5 iMacs, its got a combo drive.

OK, I don't see why you couldn't read a dual layer dvd disk. If you can play any hollywood movie on it you can use it to install Leopard.
