I think that by now, everyone should have learned the lesson to not buy anything the instant it comes out. It seems like every first batch of hardware has issues, and every major software revision requires bug fixes.

The very simple solution is to wait. I always wait for the first major patch to OS X before upgrading, and a couple of months before new hardware. While I don't have the latest shiny gadget, my life is a lot simpler.

I shudder whenever I see someone upgrading the development machine their professional life depends upon to the new version of OS X on release day.

I've gotten used to never upgrading my idevices before doing a search for potential problems. I usually just stick with the last iteration of ios designed for that generation of hardware.

The Arch Linux demographic.

While this may be easy to say if you're keeping abreast of the latest technology news and newest gadgets, to the general consumer it makes no sense at all. Once a product hits retail shelves (or is available as an over-the-air upgrade in the case of iOS 6) people will buy/download it and there's a general expectation that it will work as expected.

That's because those guys are the ones that fix all the regression bugs and "features" introduced by the new version, and release their fixes so the rest of us don't have to.

Why is this the arch linux demographic?

I have a working arch install. I don't touch it unless I have to reboot for some reason and then I read for known issues, do the upgrade and then reboot. Otherwise, no touchy.
