I want to get mac os X 10. 5 but I've heard from some that Leopard is really glitchy performs horribly and wipes out your hard drive during install.

Also is Front Row any nicer in 10. 5? Does Firefox not crash as much? Did the install wipe out your hard drive? Any other new features? FYI I have an Intel iMac g5 w mac os X 10. 4. 11...

John Siracusa on Adobe s Photoshop CS4 will be 64 bit only for Windows news Here are the two poles of this world of hurt Blame Apple If Apple had not discontinued the 64 bit port of Carbon Adobe could have shipped Photoshop CS4 as a 64 bit mac os X application as planned.

A few disparate observations and comments regarding Adobe s announcement that Photoshop CS4 will be available in a 64 bit version for Windows but will only be 32 bit for mac os X.
