Apple Mac OS X ReviewGetting Worse - Version: 10.5.4, 7/7/2008 08:52AM PST

Things just keep getting worse instead of better. Now not only does my machine not shut down properly (which was suppose to be corrected in this version), but my machine does not boot properly either. I had no problems like this with Tiger. Apple is driving me away as a customer with the crappy support for this version of the OS. If you're on an older machine, don't waste your money on the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. Tiger is FAR superior on older machines -- it works better and it's still being updated -- so why upgrade?
