Problems with Leopard Install?
This doesn’t look good:
This is gonna leave a mark.
Releasing stuff on Friday is great, if it works, but then again, there’s always that danger of the Monday morning headline – APPLE’S NEW OS BRICKS THOUSANDS OF MACS.
Probably not going to be that bad, but it might be close.
Wow. You’d think after some of the buffoonery with the iPhone, the last thing that Apple needed/wanted was to put out something that would immediately annoy a significant number of people.
Well, they have. OS X 10.5 Leopard has…issues. Primarily, the upgrade installation option (which, after carefully reading the accompanying material, a LOT of people will try right off the bat) has a very, VERY nasty habit of leaving you staring at one of the last things a recent Apple user expects to see.
A Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Well, not really a true hallmark Windoze BSOD, with indecipherable HEX included. It just . . . hangs. And refuses to start.

I checked Macslash and some users there are reporting issues as well. I’m glad I decided to wait, hopefully Apple will sort this out quickly.
