Unfortunately I still don’t have the money to buy my 4000€ Mac. But a friend of mine bought a 13″ MBP yesterday at a local Apple retailer.
They said there’s a web upgrade uption for Snow Leopard.. but all he did find after the unboxing was the FAIL-piece-of-paper with instructions. He would have to fax !!! his serial number to Cupertino and would receive a DVD after that!

I try to avoid Vista as long as possible, never had it, saw it on a few PC’s and don’t want it. Windows 7 maybe, I rather wait till they release a few fixes.

Haha, there are very few issues in comparison though. The ones I listed aren’t Apple’s fault either, except for the play/pause thing which isn’t a bug, but a feature they seem to have added. Issues like this are bound to happen to pretty much all new operating systems. I’m not saying that OS X is a perfect operating system though, there’s no such thing as a perfect operating system.

Oh and you should be comparing it to Vista or Windows 7, not an 8 year old operating system like XP^^

I am glad to hear OSX users got problems to, so it’s not just Windows that has bugs and problems at start. But since more people use it you hear a lot more complaints about XP.

Upgrade works fine for me, with just one or two minor bugs. When I’m saving a file in Safari and search in the Finder for the folder I want to save to, it freezes upon download completion. Doesn’t bug me much since I can just drag and drop anyway, but I do hope it’ll be fixed eventually.

I’ve yet to experience the play button thing since I’m still away from my home setup. I’ll see if it does the same for me next week!

Funny you should mention that. I have a friend in Rome that just put Ubuntu’s netbook remix on an old S10 I think she said. She said it runs significantly faster than XP SP3 and is quite satisfied with it. If I can find a laptop that I can buy without an OS that would be great, because I actually have a legit XP disc in my closet, or I could use Ubuntu or whatever type of Linux I thought would be easy to use and fun. I’ve been really curious about Linux lately. Thinking about putting it on my wife’s old laptop for fun. She’s always complaining about how slow it is anyway.

That’s strange, Japanese input works just fine for me, although I don’t use the MS Office apps, weird if it’s just in those apps… Did you ask if someone else is having the same problem? If it’s just MS Office there should prolly be a fix for it soon…

Good to hear that everything else works fine!

I see, that makes sense. I’d buy a netbook if I did a lot of traveling, and I’d run Ubuntu’s netbook remix on it^^
