Hi Sam,

Thanks for your kind words. Most apps worked fine on Leopard the day it came out, and at this stage there are patches available for most of those that didn't. I don't think compatibility is a big problem with Leopard at this stage.

As for how best to install it, opinion is very much divided on that. Allison from the Nosilla cast tried an over-install and things went very funny for her. She ended up just doing an erase and install in the end. However, others have done 'dirty installs' (as I call them), with no problems at all. Personally I always do an erase and install for any OS upgrade. I used to do it on Windows, I do it on Linux and I do it on OS X. I like to make a clean start from time to time. I look at it as a spring clean for my computer.

In short, theoretically it is fine, some people have had problems with it, so I'd recommend an erase and install or an archive and install.

What ever you chose to do, I hope it goes well for you.

Bart.
