Funny article outlining Snow Leopards upgrade problems, and singing praises for Win7...

Quoted: In a phrase, Windows 7 is darn good... very good. A huge congratulations to the dev team in Redmond --- Well done! In fact... very well done!

Quoted: You'd think that Apple would learn from Microsoft's stumble with Vista but no... they followed every bad move Vista made and then some. Do not upgrade to Apple OS X Snow Leopard!!! Wait to upgrade AFTER at least two major update release fixes from Apple ... My Macbook Pro that came preloaded with Snow Leopard kicks butt and is a screaming fast machine. I have zero complaints about my brand new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard but when I tried to upgrade one of my "older" Macbooks, it was a fricking disaster from hell.

Quoted: Moral of the story - DO NOT TRY TO UPGRADE TO APPLE'S SNOW LEOPARD!!! You've been warned. I might try to do it again but it won't be till Apple releases at least 2 major fix updates. If you want to roll the dice and try, go ahead... your upgrade might work however random installs not working is not good for me. Lesson learned --- I'll wait. I guess Apple really wanted to catch up with Microsoft --- too bad they ran after Vista.

It's bits like this that remind me I'm just not spending enough quality time with the internet.

Quoted: Says Abramsky: “We are raising our price targets on RIM from $100 to $150, on Apple from $190 to $250, and on Palm from $18 to $25, justified by increased market shares which, as visibility improves to the huge smartphone opportunity, offer upside to financials and potential multiple expansion.”
