The problem was the great leap taken from OS 9 to OS X. They dropped the Mac OS core and took on Unix as the core of the OS in OS X. It was a totally different OS from the ground up. That caused the problems with the scanners, ect.

There have been very small interruptions with the upgrades from 10.0 (Puma) to 10.3 (Panther). I would think that 98% of users have had little to no hiccups from 10.1 on. All of the kinks had been worked out by 10.2 Jaguar for the most part. It was really a complete modern OS by then. 10.3 is just icing on the cake. I wouldn't worry about future upgrades too much from here on out.

I don't actually know, it just seems that when OSX came out, followed by
Jaguar, Panther, Tabby Cat etc there seemed to be lots of wailing from users
trying to use scanners and other things that disappeared.
