Christ! Are you kidding me? You had a DAY of HELL installing Leopard? Box up your computer and send it back to Apple, 'cause you're too stupid to own a computer. My install of Leopard took 20 minutes tops, on a system nearly the same as yours. You had to endure a boring screen for an hour. Oh the horror, how did you ever survive? Oh Jesus H. Christ! Are you kidding me? You had a DAY of HELL installing Leopard? Box up your computer and send it back to Apple, ’cause you’re too stupid to own a computer.

You had to endure a boring screen for an hour. Oh the horror, how did you ever survive?

If you don't have 2.0.3 installed, panic! Unsanity’s “Application Enhancer” also appears to be causing ABSODs. If you don’t have 2.0.3 installed, panic!

I went to my Mac store yesterday evening and stood in line with the throngs of sheep waiting for my Koolaid. I came home and installed it first on my new iMac (about 6 months old). The upgrade went smoothly. It was a slow and boring 2 hour process, but all went fine. Next I went to install the (upgrade?) on my new MacBook (about 8 months old). The second install was next to impossible! The screen went completely screwy! The screen started scrolling sideways whenever I would move the mouse. The display size of the screen went huge and part of the dialog was off the screen. So how would I be able to install the software? No mouse control! And no way to even see the entire screen! And no way to recover my laptop with a restart either! I eventually figured out how to TAB through the dialogs on the screen to parts of the screen that I could not see, and confirm answer to set up questions that I could not read by pressing the space bar. Eventually I managed to mash the right sequence of invisible options and the software was finally installed. Hold the phone. The curse was not broken yet. Parallels would not work on either of my computers. I had to uninstall Parallels on both machines and reinstall Parallels on both machines before it would work. Finally after a long and very unpleasant experience, both computers seem to be working as they should. As a Windows user since version 3.0 I have performed my share of system upgrades, This upgrade was the worst computer upgrade I have ever seen! Thanks Mac!

I did 3 clean installs and 5+ upgrades so far... The only trouble i had was with my own Macbook pro, clean install that some parts of my manual backup didn't restore well, ical and such... i guess the structure has changed. went without a hitch for me on several machines.
