So far, all of the programs I use on a regular basis works fine. Only flavor stuff, like Shapeshifter, do not currently work. Oh and backup? That's why I bought Leopard and an accompanying external hard drive. hehehe With most of my “at home” stuff on my Macbook, it was a bit gutsy (stupid?) of me to go out and buy Leopard and install it without doing any reading online.

Thankfully no real problems. I guess the fact that my main word processor these days is Google Docs and so much of my data is stored online, I was less freaked out about losing critical data/apps. I'll be more careful with the PowerMac desktop though -- fortunately I have an external hard drive that I can migrate all the essential files over to. I haven't tried the updated version of bootcamp yet to see if my Windows install is working right though... I just installed it on my MacBook Pro and prayed…which was probably foolish.

I did the 'upgrade' first - and of course backed up my precious music files first. The rest of the stuff I could survive without (that's totally not true, but I use Mozy to backup anything critical anyway). It went fine, aside from ending out w/ two versions of X11 installed, and Gimp not working at all. Then I decided oh what the hell, lets try the 'wipe it clean' update and did that the next day. Now I only have one version of X11 installed, and Gimp still doesn't work. All in all, I'd have to say it went rather hassle free - and I had APE installed during the first 'upgrade' and it didn't bug-out anything. I would rate my experience(s) as "very smooth". Not perfect, but pretty close I suppose. I had minimal problems on my MacBook Pro. I did the ‘upgrade’ first — and of course backed up my precious music files first.
