Sometimes, it is hard not to gloat being a user of Apple's MacOS X. But today, I will try to restrain myself as our friends "across the pond" are reeling from perhaps the highest-profile Windows Upgrade kerflooey (technical term) in history. The Department of Work and Pensions in New Britain attempted to upgrade a few machines to Windows XP over the weekend. Somehow, the upgrade went bad and 80,000 workers were left with blue screens of death on their machines. As of this point, Microsoft is blaming the vendor who did the install, the vendor is blaming Microsoft, Trade Unions are calling upon Britain to bring back the workers who were laid off "because computers would make the job so much easier", and just about everyone has a black eye. What is worse, it appears that they had no back-out plan, so they can not simply roll back their systems to what they were prior to the upgrade.
Remember friends. Before ANY major upgrade, back up your systems completely. You always want a fall-back position. I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner for my Mac-using friends, and I am sure there are plenty of utilities for my Windows-using friends. Still, for the sake of everyone's sanity, I am hoping more of my friends decide to make the jump to an Apple-centric world in the near future.
