Macfixit poll results

Did your system have problems after applying the Mac OS X 10.4.9
update?

No, seems to be working fine 75.13%
Yes, minor issues (quirks and minor deficiencies) 17.02%
Yes, major issues (cannot boot, loss of data etc.) 7.85%

25% of Macs in the survey were broken to some extent by a minor
update, almost 8% were seriously damaged.

Web polls are already essentially meaningless as a result of
self-selection. A poll on Macfixit is completely worthless.
