mac osx 10.6

is it worth upgrading from 10.5?

the cost is not much (~US$30), and the time it took was not too long (less than 1-2hr). i did not notice the improvements apple advertised (faster this, faster that...), and i had to download and installed developer's tools to be able to code.

overall, i don't think this is worth the time and money. if os 10.5 runs fine on the computer already, i think it's better not to touch it. i consider myself lucky that upgrading didn't break things (so far... fingers crossed!).

------------------------

after using it for a month, my feeling is that what apple does best is advertising. using terse phrases to attract customers.

after installing 10.6, from time to time when i compile codes the compiler would strangely be switched from gcc to lex, which then overwrote my code!
