As many Windows users know, the upgrade process is kinda messy. Say you have Win2K and you want to upgrade to WinXP. Sure, you can do an in-place upgrade, but I hear they're messy, leave a bunch of crap in your registry, and it can possibly break stuff. Best route is to back up your data, reformat, and install WinXP fresh, then reinstall all your software (ugh).
Ubuntu is like a dream come true. 7.04 "Feisty" just came out today. The upgrade process from 6.10 "Edgy" involves opening the update manager, saying "yes" to upgrade to Feisty, and it downloads all the patches, does an in-place upgrade, and you're done. No hassle. Hopefully.
I'm wondering, if I get a Mac Pro next week, then Leopard comes out later this year, how does that upgrade process work? Can I just pop in the Leopard CD/DVD and do an in-place upgrade? Or is that not recommended? How does the OS upgrade process work?
Thanks in advance.
