Had my first Snow Leopard glitch yesterday -- Dock wouldn't appear and wireless keyboard wouldn't work (although wireless glidepad worked fine).

wuzzupwitdat.

By the time I had looked up a fix, though, the problem had resolved itself. Huh.

I’m still running 10.5.8 on my iMac but my First Wife’s new MacBook Pro will get the upgrade in a few days...

I'm not worried about Snow Leopard . . . I'm worried about Adobe and whether 10.6.7 will kill my Macs via Adobe again.

The upgrade to 1.6.6 and subsequent Adobe updates eventually caused a 'licensing' error on Adobe Acrobat 9, which came as part of Adobe Create Suite Master Collection CS5 (Fireworks, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator, Soundbooth, Encore, and probably fifteen other minor programs, like Bridge and Contribute).

Adobe technical support even has a 'tool' that you download to fix the licensing problem, which I used with Adobe tech support on the phone, and, when it didn't work, they shared my screen and walked through the next seven possible fixes.

It crashed my entire Adobe licensing system, so the Acrobat little error became a major error for all of CS5, a major problem for me, and a major problem for my non-profit clients.

It couldn't be recovered through Time Machine, because that would just lead to the licensing error again, and Adobe didn't know how to fix it because none of their traditional fixes worked.

I spent EIGHT CONSECUTIVE BUSINESS DAYS (you read it right - eight days) on the phone with Adobe, up to nine hours a day, and only got the problem fixed last Friday. I'm now reinstalling 113 plugins, from Alien Skin Blow Up 2 to Zaxwerks Invigorator Pro (and that doesn't include over 160 extensions) - on both a MacPro and a MacBook Pro.

Do you really think I want to gamble that Adobe has its act together?
