Well, the two designers I work with seemed to have a nightmare upgrading – but for two different reasons. One had an issue where the upgrade process failed to detect his main hard drive and – to cut a long story short – he had to install Tiger from fresh followed by the upgrade over the top of this fresh install. He lost some work along the way as well…

Then the other chap sucessfully upgraded his laptop but he has a mac based music production setup using pro-tools and essentially, this now doesn’t work as the hardware doesn’t have any supported drivers under Leopard. He’s therefore now got to wait for co’s to catch up and release drivers. I guess this is another effect of Apple not releaseing preview / development versions…

I guess it all goes to show that even if you have a controlled computer base and limited varitions to cater for, upgrading a computer to a new operating system is just never going to be as simple as the manufacturers would have you believe.
