Musings of a Marketing Maven

Well, it took a cou­ple of hours to backup the hard drive and then install Leop­ard on my Mac­Book Pro. So far, so good. It’s been fast and very reliable.

I haven’t done a thor­ough test, but so far, most of my appli­ca­tions are work­ing just fine. The note­book recov­ers from sleep even more quickly than before — within a cou­ple of sec­onds of open­ing the lid. (I wish my PC Vista note­book could per­form like that!)

So far, the only com­pat­i­bil­ity issue I’ve had is with a one-year-old ver­sion of Google Earth, which failed to launch. To be fair to Google, I haven’t tried to install a more recent version.

What a stark dif­fer­ence between the expe­ri­ence of installing Vista as an upgrade to a Win­dows XP note­book, and installing Leop­ard as an upgrade to Mac OS 10.4 “Pan­ther.” Nine months later, I still lack dri­vers to sup­port the full capa­bil­i­ties of my PC note­book. I’ve given up hope that those dri­vers will ever arrive.

As for Leop­ard, let’s hope this pos­i­tive expe­ri­ence con­tin­ues to be the norm on my Mac­Book Pro!
