Forgive me for laughing at other people's misfortune, but it's nice to see so many people having trouble upgrading OS X and Ubuntu (to Leopard and Gutsy Gibbon respectively). It shows that Microsoft aren't the only ones to have compatibility problems. Software isn't perfect, and it can't reasonably be tested for every possible eventuality. it's unreasonable for everyone to expect upgrades and updates to install without any problems, especially given the complexity of modern operating systems. So forgive Microsoft for the quirks in Vista, please forgive Apple if you're having trouble installing Leopard, and give Gutsy Gibbon a chance (even if it doesn't really look any different to the old version).
I think I'll stick with Slackware and Windows, but that's probably because I've grown up with them. Familiarity breeds contempt, but it also builds understanding and loyalty. I have a love-hate relationship with every OS that I use. Always have, always will.
