While it is generally very true that we are not befuddled by the same
issues one expects from Microsoft installs I would always suggest the
superior install is a fresh install on a freshly formatted harddrive.
This is especially true for major iterations of Operating Systems
(such as 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5). Along with that no matter what OS
platform one should indeed be properly backed up before those
installs. Finally, if you are running specialized software advance
research to determine compatibility or the updating of those
softwares to be compatible is worthy of waits until all is in order.
With all of that said. I will do an archive and install of 10.5,
rather than upgrade the 10.4.x and I won't bother to back up prior to
the install.

Yah, we are not talking about Microsoft here. Call it MS

No you will not likely need to buy any new hardware or software.
In all the years I have been working with Apple the only upgrade I
ever did was memory.

Hi folks,
There has been a lot written recently about whether or not
people should upgrade to Vista. So i was wondering the same about
upgrading to Leopard? I am going to, but will I need to buy new
printers or scanners etc and new software etc?
Thanks
James
