Re: Columnist trashes Apple's Leopard - calls it new Vista
I have a lot of Macs and since 10.4.8 and on I've seen quite a few quirks with every point release. Vista certainly is no prize but now that 3rd party vendors have improved their drivers, reliability of my Vista media centers is nearly as well as I see with Leopard where Apple totally controls the hardware. On my Mac Pro, Vista runs perfectly, both natively and virtually.
It seems to me that perhaps Apple is branching out too fast and losing focus on its core business and it shows in a lack of quality control.
As I stated in another thread, Leopard has so many new features that a public beta was warranted. A lot of these problems, like I'm having would have certainly been caught early and fixed prior to release.
Then there are the issues with the upgrade in place features. If the upgrade is place feature is so unreliable (as Mac zealots seem to blame users for problems if they use the feature) Apple should have eliminated it and forced everyone to clean install or archive and install. Don't include it if it doesn't work.
I totally agree...Apple has FINALLY tripped up Leopard. I'd revert to 10.4.7 but I'm lazy and will stick it out. |
