DON'T UPGRADE TO LEOPARD!

I can't believe I am saying this, but, as an advisory to others, I feel I need to considering the pain I have endured (and am enduring) since I have done so. I am a HUGE Apple fan(atic), as anyone reading these posts knows. Indeed , I took Apple's delay of Leopard in stride because I thought it would only give them more time to make the product better. Sadly, I was wrong. It is unfortunate that such a wonderful product as the Mac OS had to take a backseat to the iPhone, but, to make matters worse, it seems the product was released much too soon.

To enumerate the problems I have experienced since upgrading to Leopard:

  • My Macbook freezes more than half the time after waking from sleep; all I see is that darned spinning beach ball and my keyboard is frozen. I can, interestingly, move my mouse cursor.
  • My battery life has gone from a solid 3+ hours to less than 1 hour.
These are the major problems and, from reading the posts online, it doesn't appear that I am alone.

I would appreciate any feedback here, since I am sure others are in the same boat. Unfortunately, it seems that this issue is related to Leopard and unless and until Apple gets things right here we are all going to suffer. So, we need to make sure our collective voices are heard.
