I read a few days ago that Mac OS X Tiger destroys hard drives. Does anybody know anything about this? i recently had to get a new hard drive for my powerbook G4 and it came back with panther instead of Tiger that i had upgraded to last year before its slow and tragic death (reasons unknown hence my question). I want to know if its worth upgrading again to Tiger if the same thing could happen...

Tiger does not destroy hard drives, rest assured.
Where did you hear that? Do you have a link?

I have upgraded from 10.4 to 10.4.2 to 10.4.3 to 10.4.4 since I've bought my iMac G5 in September. I haven't had anything happen to the hard drive that it comes with. Of course, I also make sure that I don't have any other drives or peripherals connected other than the keyboard and the mouse when performing the upgrade, as well as making sure that I've run a disk check and repaired permissions.

I liked the heading of this one. It gave me an image in my mind of a Tiger leaping out of the bushes and tearing a hard drive to pieces.
Seriously, though, Apple have shipped over 8 million copies of Tiger. If it "destroyed hard drives" I think we'd have heard something about it.
