ask Dr. LJ - Snow Leopard

[dchenes]

Usually I wait for at least the second version of any new Mac OS before I install it, in case the first version breaks anything I care about. Why should I pay a lot of money to get a version of a new OS that breaks things? However, what I've read about Snow Leopard so far leads me to believe that they got it right the first time, and it's cheap enough that even if it does break things, I won't have paid a lot to have it break things.

So, fellow Mac users, should I go to the pet store by way of the Mac store tomorrow, or continue the tradition and wait?

Uh, I'd wait. Getting it right the first time doesn't mean you make a major release a couple weeks or less later, which they've done. And I was just talking on the phone with Citrix Friday about it and they say their stuff flat out doesn't work with it yet. So you may not be using that, but that means that other major application vendors may well have some gaps.
