This Cat Has Fleas! Leopard Early Adopters Encounter Bugs Aplenty
It’s expected that a new software release will ship with a few bugs, especially something as large and complicated as an operating system. Mac OS X 10.5, Apple’s latest major update, is no exception. While I personally haven’t noticed any hiccups aside from my DVD burning software not working properly, Compiler co-writer Scott Gilbertson has had a few issues. Reports on the web have branded Leopard as buggy, half-baked and even (gasp) beta.
It may just be that users are choosing to upgrade using their old preferences — rather than wiping the disk and performing a totally clean install — and that’s causing incompatibilities. It’s also been suggested that Apple, under pressure to meet the October 26 deadline, didn’t provide third-party application developers with enough time to test and update their apps before Leopard’s release. Either way, users are having problems.
We’d like to identify the biggest issues with the OS, so tell us: What’s your beef with Leopard? Bugs are collected in the list below. If your bug is on the list, vote it up. If you don’t see your bug in the list, submit it. We’ll be squashing duped bugs, so be sure to browse the list carefully and see if your issue has already been submitted before adding it.
In the meantime, if you need help fixing your broken Leopard, Apple has updated to its support site to include documentation for 10.5. And after you fix it, customize it!
