» Leopard: my upgrade plan

Alright! Leopard is now on the market and has officially been for the past twenty minutes now! So what should you do? Upgrade or hold off a while? My main plan for upgrading to Leopard is first to hold off until I know that my Adobe CS3 apps are working as they should with Leopard and then I’ll do my following release plan which is courtesy of Terry White which is the Creative Suite guru! So when he tells you it is good to upgrade, you can safely do it as well and I really taken a liking to his upgrade plan.

After knowing that CS3 works fine my other concern is all my other programs I use daily, will they work? So I’m going to be making a bootable clone of my entire HDD using a program called SuperDuper!  to my external hard drive, and then boot Tiger from there and finally install Leopard on that clone first, so I have Tiger as my main OS on the computer if something should not be right! Thus I can test my applications as I wish without loosing Tiger!

Also I’ll be updating when there is some info on which CS3 products work and which don’t once I hear about it on Terry White’s blog.
