I tried the online upgrade in which you buy the software
on line and they send you a PDF document which is
password-protected. The document contains your authorization
code that you use in the App store to redeal the actual upgrade
package.
When you launch Appstore, you enter the content code at
the redeem button and once it has finished downloading, you are
presented with a button to start.
It all worked as advertised and I have only run up
against one unexpected event. I hit VO-m for the menu bar,
used VO's arrow key combinations to go down through Apple Menu
and found "About this Mac"
If I select that, I immediately am dropped back to my
desktop. There is no error or complaint of any kind. It makes me
think that something has changed in getting the information
about one's Mac. The other items in the Apple Menu seemed
normal. The only one I tried was "System Preferences" which
opened just like it did in snowleopard.
If anybody can tell me whether this is normal or broken,
I would appreciate it.
Oh yes, one other little strange thing. When I first
started the system after the upgrade, an alert popped up saying
that a document called speechserver.app was corrupted and
couldn't be restored. Voiceover is working fine and came up on
the same output device it had been on when I started the upgrade
while still in snowleopard.
I did run safari and tested it by filling in a form to
request leave and that went perfectly.
