Snow Leopard: Are you satisfied with the upgrade?

Snow Leopard: Are you satisfied with the upgrade?

By: Peter Chubb | October 3, 2009 | 3 Comments

When a new operating system is released it can go one of two ways, run like a dream or be dogged with bugs. The new Snow Leopard or OS X 10.6 from Apple was promised to be a refined upgrade from the previous operating system, but were users satisfied.

The upgrade was not an expensive one, just $29. Mac users did not even have to think about it, they knew that they would take up this cheap upgrade offer. Users were sucked in to picking up the Snow Leopard on its release day, but we have come to learn that this is always a bad move.

Engadget explains that users are still finding that the OS suffers from broken functionality, which is giving them mental pains. There are so many questions that need an answer, would you ever upgrade again until we are a month or more into the new upgrade?

I am now a little worried; I have ordered my copy of Windows 7, as I wanted to take advantage of the low price offered to me by Amazon. I see it as a small price to pay to be shot of Vista.

Are you satisfied with Snow Leopard?

    I’ve yet to encounter any of the broken functionality in Snow Leopard, and I’m a fairly intensive user (QuarkXpress, Photoshop CS2 and CS3, Illustrator CS3, Strata 3D, Logic, Final Cut Pro, Lightroom, Office, Windows Remote Desktop).

    Snow Leopard was a very easy install, and downgrading on Mac OS X is also a fairly simple matter. At £29 GBP, it’s an OS upgrade for the price of a shareware utility. If it hadn’t worked, I would have put it back in the box, gone back to what was working before, and waited until all the fixes were out.

    Office for Mac 2008 has acted strange since the upgrade. My Mac loses the wireless connection since the upgrade. Several programs don’t work. Espionage for example locks folders for privacy. I can’t get one unlocked. The password is rejected.

    Martin,
    Consider yourself lucky. From the annoying (one iCal reminder for each and every historical instance of a repeat event) to the crippling (inability to print) and runaway mDNSResponder processes, my upgrade to SL driven by my intense desire to disable most of the multi-touch gestures of my trackpad, has morphed to a desire to park my new MacBook Pro in favor of my 4-year-old PowerBook while Apple gets back to work on making SL function. In short, I hate SL, and I hate my MacBook Pro.
