| 618034 | 2007-12-04 23:32:00 | Thanks to Leopard, the dreaded Blue Screen of Death is now a part of the Mac operating system. Apple refuses to refer to the problem as a "Blue Screen of Death". Apparently they find the term, historically associated with Windows, somewhat distasteful. Instead, Apple simply uses the term "Blue Screen". Leopard has been plagued by a series of other problems as well. There are graphics artifacts followed by freezes, which may be caused by the new operating system’s increased use of the Mac graphics card. There are also two bugs in the usually trouble-free Mac firewall. The first caused the firewall to be installed turned off by default, which some Mac users didn’t find out about until they ran into problems. The second refused to allow some third party applications to access the Internet, including, of all things, World of Warcraft. There are a variety of other reports, including Is it me, or is Leopard just a mess?. Apple locked the topic, preventing replies. |

Do you have a particular problem with your mac? or are you about to advertise real computers, from real computer shops . :groan: |

It's just Jobs way of saying I know about it but don't like people bashing my Leopard OS. So then of course what next....Oh I know we will lock the thread. :lol: |

| 618038 | 2007-12-05 01:54:00 | I've also been running for over a month and haven't had any major issues, and very few minor ones. It's been a much smoother upgrade for me than Panther to Tiger. As with any new OS, it's always best to do a clean install rather than an upgrade. | Nermal (7077) | ||
| 618039 | 2007-12-05 02:01:00 | Mac users like everyone else vary. Unfortunately Mac have picked up many unhappy windows users who never have and never will RTFM. The majority are not having problems. No problems here either, loving it, great OS as usual. |

| 618041 | 2007-12-05 02:22:00 | What's your point pctek, the blue screen problem has been discussed here before and is well documented by Apple and it is due to 3rd party software. It has affected a tiny minority of the people who have installed Leopard and is not an unusual problem when installing a new OS when the recommended procedure is not followed. All the OS X versions I have seen have the firewall off by default so that is nothing new. Leopard is working fine for most people and to suggest that there is some sort of major problem is naive and irresponsible on your part considering the amount of experience you have had with OS X |

Here's the link: www.tomsguide.com And if it was already posted I didn't see it. |

You can make a big issue out of anything if a few individuals are very vocal. Take the thread on this forum "Controversial poll" for example, 107 posts about a non existent issue. The comments at the end give some balance to the article. I'm with over 20 Macs (mixed PPCs and Intel machines) in the same network that were upgraded and fortunately I'm yet to see or hear any complaints about Leopard, however I do remember to read a note from Adobe advising users about potential problems with some of their software. Is this problems really affecting all Leopards or is this article overrating this issues? This article WAY overstates the problems. There may be dramatic problems for individuals. But for myself and the vast majority of those in my circle, the upgrade has been smooth and the new features are fabulous! |
