Leopard Survey Results
Last week we posted a survey asking if and roughly when people might upgrade to Leopard (OS 10.5). Over the course of the week, we gathered 1337 responses. There were a few minor flaws with the survey. The biggest flaw was that we gave people the opportunity to choose “Yes, but I’ll wait a couple weeks in case there are upgrade issues,” but didn’t allow the option of “Yes, but I’ll wait a couple of MONTHS in case there are upgrade issues.” Once the survey began, we couldn’t revise it, so we allowed participants to choose ”…I’ll wait a couple weeks…” even if they were actually going to wait a couple months to upgrade. This survey was not for marketing or scientific purposes, but simply for our community to appreciate potential Leopard adoption rates.
- 21.9% say they’ll upgrade as soon as Leopard is released.
- 37.7% say they’ll wait a couple of weeks [months] in case there are upgrade issues.
- 31.9% say they’ll wait to get it on a new Mac
- 8.2% say no thanks – they’re happy with their current OS.
Finally, 0.3% say there’s no way they’re upgrading to Leopard – they’re switching to Windows.
Also – we’ve selected a winner for the $30 gift bundle. We sent him or her an email and we’re waiting to hear back. We’ll announce the winner when we have more details!
Just tried the Option-Delete key combination within iTunes 7.6 “Get Info/Edit Info” tables for song tracks; it works just fine, deleting a word (like a composer’s name) at a time.
One caveat on using Option-Delete within iTunes: If you hit Option-Delete within the Music Library/Playlist Display panes, you’ll receive a warning prompt about “Do you wish to delete this song/playlist ?”
So, Option-Delete has a special (and powerful) capability within iTunes. I’ve found it useful for deleting an album-oriented playlist after burning a backup to CD.
Your Option-Delete tip also made me find out that the “Undo” function (Command-Z) works on repeated deletes! I was unaware of that fine point before I tried it. Thanks for the tip, and the education!
