Nice upgrade...
The info screens you're complaining about...they've been there since OSX first shipped. Apple always wants to know more about their demographic. Microsoft could use that...oh wait...business people only...That's right Macs are built for fun :) unless of course you're gaming. OH wait!!! I can take my mac and reboot it with bootcamp and run windows and use games too. Oh well, PC is out the door! But I guess a pc can...oh it doesn't run MacOSX...too bad.
Leopard is sweet. Played with it at the launch in Phoenix. Fast, smooth, it works as demo'd which is nice. Can't wait to use it in real world non-apple-store pristine environment. That shuold be in a day or so when I have a few mins to do the upgrade. 45 mins...could be a nice lunch or walk to Starbucks and chat with some friends.
And I can take the heat from the PC side or the Mac side since I use both and my iMac is happy sitting next to my 22" HD display attached to my PC. They both serve their purposes.
Good article, and yes always backup all or some of what you don't wish to lose. In the end with my Vista "upgrade" I was forced to format my drive, it locked up at 3.5 hours. So on the reboot, I formatted my drive and let it do the full install. Took almost 2 hours. So 5.5 hours wasted time, and now the computer is happily running Windows XP HOME once again. Compatibility with NVIDIA Nforce is an issue Microsoft & Nvidia

why the dark photos of the screen?
probably not accessable during an upgrade.
RE: Transforming a Tiger into a Leopard! (Leopard - Installed!)
