OSX is the only OS (besides DOS) I've had that had painless upgrades.
Windows upgrades never ever work in place (at least not for me). You
have to wipe the disk, install from scratch, then reinstall all your
apps and reconfigure them.
Same in my experience. I had to recently re-install from scratch my
ubuntu box recently (recently why I have the same amusing info as Walter
telling my machine runs ubuntu 11.04?) because 10.04 --> 10.10 upgrade
miserably crashed (at the end of the procedure, indeed).
And no, this is not due to me naughtily the system; instead while
userland is highly personalised I do not touch the rest (mainly my brain
cannot cope with the standard unix filesystem hierarchy).
(I use linux only for philosophical reasons, else would happily switch
to mac.)
