how many of you upgrade every year?

Updates! Updates!

I usually don't worry about breaking a program. I trust apple. Dont flame me! I've just never had a "real" problem with OS X (except for 10.3.2- it was really slow until i ran that sudo command). I just wish the major OS updates weren't so expensive!

I was not planning on upgrading to 10.3, I was just going to wait until 10.4. But 10.3 came with my new iBook, so, well, yeah.

i have but only b/c i can get OS X at a discount, roughly half the retail price. i don't think i'll buy whatever comes out this year though, and start saving for a G5 PB to buy next year (which would hopefully include 10.5 assuming apple continues 1 major OS X release per year).

Upgarde Every Year?

Being a Graphics Professional I need to stay on top of Software devlopments but still keep my department running in full sync. There are so many software issue we face every day that can not handle OS X, so we are still working in OS 9.2.2 on G3s and networked with PCs running 2K Pro. Until recently when we finally decide that all of our periferal (sp) devices were able to handle OS X we have decided to make the migration up. (For us at a cost of $1,600 for 2 machines). I have been using OS X at home for a year now and as soon as I can I will upgrade to Panther. I like the new features and believe that Jaguar was a good beginning and Panther is a better solution. Who knows what inroads Apple will find in the future. Will "COUGAR" (or some other CAT named code) be the next best OS? I believe that trying to figure out when to upgrade is like trying to play the stock market. It's a gamble at best, but if you move forward cautiously, you will come out ahead in the end.
And with that I bid you all a good night.

I have to, I'm addicted to updates. If I don't I feel like I'm getting left behind. It also reminds me to do some house keeping like clean install. Because nothing feels better than a clean install, at least after you get everything back on it.

I'm with your line of thought man.
