Wow. Looks like Apple is starting to come under a bit of flack from the user community over Leopard. Check out this PC Magazine article by Oliver Rist where he details what’s going wrong and compares it to that other software giant.
Let’s see, Tiger crashed—oh yeah, NEVER. Ten months and I’m installing everything from production-level Office for the Mac 2004 to 0.x releases of VLC, Seashore, and Ecto—even betas of Firefox and Parallels. Whatever my nerdy little heart desires. I’ve had those early apps crash, but Tiger never faltered.
A month of using Leopard with the same software I had under Tiger and the OS has dumped six times. That’s six cold reboots for Oliver. Apple isn’t even honest enough to admit that Leopard is crashing: The OS just grays out my desktop and pops up a dialog box telling me I’ve got to reboot. Like the whole thing is my fault. I even snapped a picture of it. After all, I HAD PLENTY OF CHANCES! And all my complaints, mirrored by online forum traffic, are the same complaints I heard about Vista when it first reared its unbaked head.
Ouch! Click here for the rest of the article.
