Will you be buying and installing Leopard on release?

[Genghis Khan]

yay! leopard is likely to be delivered just before exams...therefore i won't have it installed to 17th november🙁

 

[JSpence]

I'll be getting a new MBP as soon as Leopard is pre-installed on them. My first Mac purchase; I'm quite excited! 😀

Same here. I will purchase my first Mac as well, MB, c'mon AL case and SR with 4GB!! 😛

that really stinks.....you must have more self-discipline than me....i'd be studying while installing.....😛

that's called a Macbook Pro my friend

My current plan is to order a brand new MBP on the day Leopard becomes available (hopefully the 26th). Does that mean it will come shipped with Leopard, or will they drop in a disc that I'll have to upgrade with?

i'm not sure. that's borderline. it could go either way.

 

[iMacBook]

Nope, I'll be waiting till Christmas to buy and install it. A couple reasons:
1. I don't have any money at the moment.
2. I usually like to wait on new releases to make sure they aren't funky and such.

I Love Taking The Plunge On Day One

I Took The Plunge with every previous release on day one and it was never a catastrophic problem doing so.

BTW Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize today for his work on the Apple board of directors. 🙂

i've never had a problem with installing on day one either

I've been umming and ahing over it but I think I'll get it asap. I've bought a new HD for it to go on so I'll always have Tiger on the old HD until I'm satisfied Leopard is all good.

 

[thejadedmonkey]

I'll buy it.... if it's ever released!😡

Can you tell I'm sick of waiting?

yeah i'll just clone Tiger to an external HD, just in case

we all are.

 

[DerChef]

ditto that 😉

When I upgraded to Tiger I selected "upgrade" rather than "archieve and install" by mistake and all was fine. As my install of Tiger is not that old and and therefore little detritus on the machine I will probably go down that route again but with a cloned drive ready to go if all goes horribly wrong. 😉

yeah i don't think "upgrade" is that bad. as long as you have a backup, you can always do a clean install later if necessary

I intend to buy it soon after release date if not on that date. I will run it first on my MacBook to see how well it works. A week or two later, I will install it on my iMac 20" Intel. I am looking forward to this little adventure!😀

i'm looking forward to it as well. i wonder if my local apple store will be open at midnight of release day?

iPhone $100 rebate

I thought that's what everyone was using their iPhone $100 rebate for. I know I will. 😕

i'm sure there are plenty that will. i used mine on a new nano

 

[wrldwzrd89]

I've always been an early adopter with Mac OS X releases. I'm not going to change that for Leopard - did it with Panther and Tiger.

 

[cobravap]

Yes, i will be getting it at opening!

 

[FadeToBlack]

I just wish they'd announce a release date! Can't wait to install it! 😎

 

[svalentine]

Yes, I will purchase and install Leopard day 1! Can't wait actually😀

 

[ImperialX]

I'm buying my new iMac as soon as Leopard releases.

 

[Kinkade]

I will probably get it on day one. I am pretty excited about the release, but I could last a few days without it, so if something better comes up to do on release day I will push it to the next.

There isnt anything in leapord I really want right away. I just like installing new stuff. Its fun. 🙂 All kinds of new features to explore.

 

[Fuchal]

I will buy it and install it the night it comes out. OS X is buggy at all times, so it makes no difference.
