One would hope that they will fix this prior to the actual release! I'm sure Apple have made similar clangers inside OSX, but we never see their bug reports... Oh, and yes I got bitten by this upgrade bug but I managed to recover without too much trouble, guess I was just lucky!

I know there is the odd exception, but it's true of the vast, vast majority. I'd rather pay for quality software, than suffer with free software that doesn't work properly, or at all half the time...And suffer is definitely the word =) Yeah, the problem with free software though, is that the quality just isn’t there.
