I agree with you for the most part, Tim. However, after having my Mac Mini for two years without doing a clean install, VO began muting itself spontaneously, and a sys diagnose file began appearing without warning in a finder window. I decided to use a clean install to clear these things up. Believe me, I do think the upgrades are much, much easier, and I will use them as long as my machine isn't acting up.
