I Don't know wheres my first feedback has gone. it just disappeared after i clicked the submit button. Here are my observations @ upgrade. - Took 1hr 30 minute on both PB 1.5 Mhz, 1 Hr 10 minute on iMac G5. - Took full backup before upgrade, as you said, its a must. - Just wait and watch, no input required during upgrade. -- System startup t6aking longer time then before. -- some application taking longer time to startup but not much difference -- Active Application item in Dock is too light to identify. -- Active folder icons are not good. My application folder has address book icon, Download has word icon. Seems taking the first file icon to display, not good. Feel is good Mail is awesome, just love the stationary Upgraded iLife too, iPhoto is amazing Cover flow in finder is great Got pre configured Photo booth and Front Row in my PB. It was not there before. -- The front row do not play default music if not pre-set any song for album in iPhoto. Spaces is very useful to work easily between different applications. Overall experience. Great. Regards Amit Tokyo Hi Adams and Dale.

– System startup t6aking longer time then before.

– Active Application item in Dock is too light to identify.
– Active folder icons are not good. My application folder has address book icon, Download has word icon. Seems taking the first file icon to display, not good.

Feel is good
Mail is awesome, just love the stationary
Upgraded iLife too, iPhoto is amazing
Cover flow in finder is great
Got pre configured Photo booth and Front Row in my PB. It was not there before.
– The front row do not play default music if not pre-set any song for album in iPhoto.

Hi Dale thanks for the article, I am reading reviews @ OS upgrade but frankly speaking, on 2 of my 1.5 Ghz PB, it took 1 hr 30 minutes each to upgrade, no where near 30 minute time as i am reading in all sites. One PB has many additional application and other is plane vanilla Tiger with Microsoft office. experience on both OS upgrade was same. My iMAC G5 took 20 minute less then PB's. Otherwise, as usual, simple and easy update. every thing running great, though Startup time increased and few applications seems to be running a bit slow. The welcome additions are photo booth and Front row coming as default. They were not available in Tiger as standard for PB. Mail is good, stationary is awesome. The Dock is little confusing as the light blue icon for running application is not visible. Also it shows address book icon for the application folder in dock and similarly arbitrary icon for document and download folder in dock. I upgraded iLife with OS upgrade and iPhoto is just amazing now. Overall experience, look and feel is great. And Yes, as you said, Backup is must. Thanks for your show. Regards Amit Tokyo Hi Adams,
