    Mac OS 10.5.2 = Apple Vista?

    Maybe you Mac users should know this, just in case you go updating.



    In February Apple began shipping their Time Capsule backup appliance which allowed me to have a wireless network and shared network attached storage – something I’d been waiting for. Time Capsule allowed Apple’s new Time Machine software to automatically back up my data to a shared network drive and restore it easily. A great concept, but it still needs some bugs worked out (that’s a topic for another article.)

    In order to get my machine to see, utilize and understand the Time Capsule, I had to upgrade my Mac to 10.5.2. Without hesitation, I did. From that day forward I’ve been running the worst operating system I’ve run on a Mac in years. My machine now runs slower and if I run more than a few applications at a time, it barely operates. It takes nearly six minutes to wake from sleep, and when it does finally wake, the mouse bounces around uncontrollably and requires a hard shut down to fix.

    And i have to comment about ultra smart talkbacks, i thought that we have this only here.
    cheers

    Hmm. I'm pretty sure I'm running 10.5.2 right now (I'm at work on a PC and can't check) and haven't had any problems. Will have to double-check when I get home...

        Don't you mean the update is the problem and not the whole OS? Remember, this is a 10.x OS and .5.2 is an updated version. Just trying to keep the slower people on here from being confused. Isn't that right, Dom?

          I think most Apple users would've already updated to .2 as that came out a few months ago!

          No such problems here, no mouse issues, no slow downs. I didn't even notice much improvements in anything after the update.

          I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

              sounded like the same problem my ex girlfriend had when she got her macbook pro awhile ago .. brought it back to apple store and they said it was a bad OS installation or something ... had them fixed it and it was working fine since

                    i'd rather just get a lacie 1t external and back up whenever I felt like it. Not like this thing is going to go haywire.
