Pretty much sounds like Vista, only worse. The phone lines into
Cupertino must be SMOKING.

So wouldn't you think that the majority of people going to a site called
"MaxFixit" would be having problems? Do you think the majority of them
would go and say "I just wanted to stop by and say I'm not having problems".
Have you ever heard of a term called "self-selection bias"?

How does anything you wrote change the fact that Leopard has a
boatload of problems, even with Apple's own hardware?

And the Zune had problems with Vista....
Once again a basic understanding of statistics would tell you that
just like you can't judge Mac sales based on survey of two stores over
50 hours...You can't judge widespread problems based on a self
selected sample of 248 users.
