Existing users, 
The second "adding Panther support" upgrade to wreck my 10.2.8 system/software in the past month. Sloppy. Inexcusable (only if this were a one person shareware outfit would I cut them a break--and, ironically, those folks seem to have been day-and-date with their functional Panther updates). The other installer's manufacturer finally acknowledged that the Panther updater would corrupt/crash pre 10.3 systems. Let's see if Norton fesses up to issues with this update. Their update/upgrade program has been horrifically overpriced, but up until OS X, at least the stuff worked...
I've used Norton Utilities since the mid-90s. I'm now considering a full abandonment of their software...it seems Symantec has done all but that. If I could just have rock-solid 10.2/10.3 defrag and disk management under one app, I'll be happy. Hell, the Windows folks are right--this stuff should be included in the OS itself!

WARNING TO ALL JAGUAR USERS...#2 - Ellusian
Hey Ted,You work for Symantec? If not, why do you care if the app's rating goes down when your setup might not be affected by this update but those of us posting feel the duty to warn those that might be (i.e. you say you installed on a Panther system, I was warning pre-10.3 users that the software update might corrupt their app under any OS but Panther). Your not helping, your hurting the consumer-protection intent of this thread/service.
