"When Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger shipped in April, the rest of the media fawned over its hot new features and made you feel that Tiger was a must-have upgrade," says Bob Leviticus, Dr Mac for the Houston Chronicle.
"But I read MacFixIt's recently released Troubleshooting Mac OS X 10.4.2 Special Report, at www.macfixit.com/osx1042/, and now I'm not so sure:"
The report includes a poll that asked: "Did your system have problems after applying the Mac OS X 10.4.2 update?"
•64.5 percent said, "No, seems to be working fine."
•24.5 percent said, "Yes, minor issues (quirks and minor deficiencies)."
•11 percent said, "Yes, major issues (cannot boot, loss of data, etc.)."
In a similar poll earlier this year, 47 percent reported major and minor issues with the 10.4.1 update, while 63.6 percent had some form of malfunction after installing the initial 10.4.0 release. That's not good.
Comment: Thank goodness it wasn't a Windows upgrade. With this level of problems there might have been 100 million people rioting in the streets... ;-)
