Come on, what new Leopard features do people really use? I don't
use Spaces or Time Machine, and I bet many here don't either.
Leopard has been a lot more UNstable for me than Tiger.

I've not had a single crash of Leopard that was not caused by

modules. Not one.

I imagine you don't have a Mac Pro with an ATI x1900XT card.

The X1900XT has always been a piece of crap. Has nothing to do
with >>>Mac
OS.

The daily kernel panics I was getting in Leopard,
which I never got in Tiger, due to this card, have
"nothing to do with the OS"?

Could you say that again?

Bad hardware is one of the things from which an OS cannot protect you.


Maybe he should go check out ATIs site for a download of a new driver.
But I only saw his spot thru you.
:D


Then my work here is done!

Not quite. You have to explain how a new driver can make up for what
you called "bad hardware."

Oh?!! Then why is it when windows screws up the MVPs say go check for a
new video driver? Does that mean that XPo or Vista is screwed up pretty
bad?

The MVPs aren't representing the HW as being defective when they
suggest a new driver. That's the difference.
