[QUOTE="Eric the Grey, post: 899060, member: 89578"] I did my upgrade to SL last night right after class (and copying my current Photoshop project off to my flash drive since was the only thing that had changed since my most recent backup) and popped the disk in and let it rip. The original estimate of 1 hour 5 min turned out to be just about 45 minutes to my being able to log back in. Everything seems smooth and quick. I did neglect to note down my disk space, so I can't comment on how much I saved. Other than that, I'm not certain I like Finder in Cover View. I think it would be better if I could give the folders a unique picture like iTunes does with album art. My parallels works fine but I haven't tried to boot into my bootcamp XP load. I'm thinking of taking that off anyway, since I only did it to see how well it worked. :D All in all I have to say this was the simplest upgrade of an OS I've ever done. That of course, because every other one has been Windows or Linux.... Thanks again to those who answered my questions, and everybody else who posted to this thread. It helped with my decision to go ahead with the upgrade. :Cool: Eric the Grey [/QUOTE]
