[QUOTE="sputacus, post: 913292, member: 91848"] I always make a clone of my system before I do any major update or upgrade - then I can easily restore my machine to its previous state if something about the upgrade didn't work. This practice has served me well with the Snow Leopard upgrade, as I had to do it twice on my machine. The first SL upgrade went without a problem - the improved results were as advertised. A few hours later, I updated an application and found that it didn't work in SL. I learned from an user's message board that updated application does work in SL, AS LONG AS it is updated in Leopard. In other words, the installer did not work properly in SL. So I erased my SL installation and recloned my system with my last 10.5.8 install. Then I updated the problem application - it worked fine in 10.5.8. Then I did a second upgrade to SL. Again, SL continues to perform as advertised and my application is now fully operational in SL. Conclusion - I'm not afraid to upgrade when a new OSX version is released. If it works - GREAT. If it doesn't, I can easily (within 90 minutes) restore my previous install. [/QUOTE]
