Oh, yeah, it's *really* comparable.
If you had an old version of a "haxie" named 'Application Enhancer'
and then performed an upgrade install, you could get a plain blue
screen instead of the expected desktop. A "haxie" is a system-level
hack, and as a result, is quite version-specific. If you had the more
recent versions installed, you did not have any such problems.

I love this explanation, along with the warnings about what could
happen if you do things incorrectly:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
First and formost. *Before* you install Mac OS X 10.5, make sure
you have Application Enhancer (APE) 2.0.3 or later installed. You
can download it from http://www.unsanity.net/ape-203.dmg (the
webpage is at http://unsanity.com/haxies/ape ).
Make *sure* you have APE 2.0.3 or later installed *before* you
install Mac OS X 10.5. If you have an earlier version of APE
installed before you install 10.5, you may exhibit one of the
following symptoms upon booting into Mac OS X 10.5:
- Your goldfish may die.
- A strange dog might bite you on the street.
- A friend may punch you.
- Your computer may catch fire.
- Your loved one may leave you.
All of these things are really bad. So we urge everyone to make
sure they have APE 2.0.3 or later installed. If you aren't sure,
install APE 2.0.3 or later from the link above. APE 2.0.3 was
released on March 14th, 2007. And please, always keep your
software up to date.
