Is everyone going to go for it the second it's available, or are you going to wait so you don't have to deal with any bugs? If so, when are you going to buy it?

I'm not sure myself. Right now I have no problems with Tiger and reinstalling the OS would just be a bit of a hassle. I think I will probably just wait a month or two to see how it is. I hardly ever buy something right away like that.
 
I'm going to get it a.s.a.p

The software looks wonderful, and as long as its not ridiculous, I'm not too bothered by initial stability issues :)
 
I`d definitely Wait a couple of months.

Yup Leopard is cool but Tiger is good enough for now. I`ll wait atleast until 2 months so that any major bugs will be rectified. No one should get leopard on launch except those who get it pre installed on new Macs. Even then I`d have tried to buy my Mac just a few days before leopard starts shipping preinstalled. So that I have a working copy of Tiger for as long as I want and also get Leopard as a free upgrade later.
 
I'm either getting it day one, or re-upping as a developer and getting it about the same time. Either way, I'll phase it in, but I'll install it on at least one Mac right off the bat... after backing it up, of course.
 
i'll be pre-ordering it online i'm sure. no huge rush for it which is why i won't be waiting in line or anything, but i'll install it pretty soon after its released. :D
 
If it's out in October like they say it is. I will wait maybe a few weeks to see what people think of it, problems, updates etc cause this will be the first new Mac OS I will get to buy and install. So I might just take a stand back and watch for a while :)
 
I'll be getting it within the first few days. Probably the first day, but depending whats going on, I may not be able to get it that day.
 
right now i say i'll probably wait but the temptation might be big enough that i'll go get it within a few days after its release.
 
I'll be waiting for any bugs to be worked out, but probably only because of my experience with Windows. But I won't wait long.

LOL re the last option. Yeah, right. :D
 
Im waiting until December to buy it, by then it should have the common updates and bug fixes....can't wait though:)
