To update or not to update...

[Crawdad56]

So, as a general rule is it a good idea to wait before running program updates that roll out from time to time?

10.6.7 to 10.6.8 was the only update that seemed to cause a lot of people issues and that has been resolved.

Personally I have updated 10.6.3 to .5 to .6 to .7 to .8 to 10.7.0 without difficulty.

So, if it is a work machine that you depend on, wait a couple of days or a week, check the forum/blog and then you can go for it if no one has reported problems.

Wait for what??? If other people have problems or not? They could have gone with their update smoothly but yours didn't.

So It's a good idea to have a bootable backup of your system drive (SuperDuper, CarbonCopy, etc).

So if something goes wrong, it just takes a few minutes to clone back the backup to your original drive.
