With Leopard I first did the Upgrade path. That was a big mistake. I bit the bullet and did an Erase & Install. I am now glad I went through that whole install. I am now convinced Apple screwed Leopard install up.

So when I upgraded my nephews Macbook it was a full install. I am convinced most problems in Leopard are from the "upgrade" path from 10.4.x. After going three fresh installs I have not seen most reported Leopard problems. Just the random applications not yet updated for Leopard yet (That means you Alsoft).

I upgraded from 10.4.11 and everything works fine, except that either random apps freeze and I need to force quit them or that they just force quit themselves (without freezing before). For example iTunes, Safari, Dreamweaver, MSN etc....
But since this doesn't happen too often, I don't really worry about it.
Has anybody else had this sort of problem?

Talking An update

Well it would be rude to leave this thread without some final thoughts now that some time has passed. All in all, I love my MacBook, still got a problem with my main application - Blender but as I understand it, it's due to a bug in the GMA950 driver or something that I can't recall at this precise moment. Some applications needed updating to work better with Leopard and I'm actually loving my Mac/Leopard now. LOL! I still have hysterical fun with Parallels, I love booting Windows, looking and chuckling until I've had my fill and quit Parallels again.

Oh it's all fun in the land of Mac (he says while scoffing a fat wedge of Humble Pie)
