There was KNOWN issues on release with leopard if you UPGRADED. As a professional in the field, as any other pro will tell you, never upgrade. I don't care if it is windows, mac, linux, etcetc, something ALWAYS gets forgotten, not updated, was locked, etcetc and it causes issues. Do a backup (most DECENT OSs have a good backup program) and do a fresh load.Besides the obvious of the OS being loaded how the designer wanted to, not being manipulated to be how they wanted it, this also kills old caches, built up crap fonts, etcetc for a much faster performing machine.Never buy the hype that you are given without applying common sense to it. Things like "does not need to be defraged" are total crap. Yes, it might keep a table stating where each piece of a file is, but without defrag it still has to jump all over a drive to get the data, which slows a box down noticeably. Upgrades are the same way, just because dlls are upgraded, or a chunck is replaced, they ALWAYS forgot something else.Good luck on a good solid reload, and I am willing to bet MOST your stability issues will go bye bye.
While it was a cute attempt to troll, the rest of the world and common sense lets you know you MS just BOMBED the f**k with Vista and now they are so far up s**t creek they cannot even CHARGE for the next OS. Think I will stick with this great, fast, WORKING OS named OS X, thanks.p.s. dual boot for games still :( When will MS license directx, or game makers stop being cheap and make s**t in opengl again?
