Can a leopard change its shorts?

Not in a reasonable amount of time, it seems.

Holy shit, the OS X 10.5 (aka Leopard) install takes almost an hour and a half!?

WTF?!

Just for kicks, I ran the upgrade when I got the disc, and that took a whole twenty minutes to go from a patched to current 10.4.x. A clean install is always for the better, so I booted off the DVD, formatted the drive (Journaled, Case Sensitive.), and let it start.

At least Xcode is on the DVD. Grabbing a ~1GB ISO from Apple's website is not remotely my idea of fun.

And I thought Vista took forever to install.

The upgrade option worked just fine, but I use that as a test machine, so there's nothing on it I care about. All my widgets were present and working just fine. I wish I knew how to save them, as some of the ones I really liked are no longer available.

If you really are worried, there's no pressing need to upgrade today. Tiger is still being actively maintained for now.
