Create a new 'safety' user prior to upgrades
I suppose if you have had problems with your install in the past, or hack the crap out of it, this is a good idea. However, given that I have been using Mac OS X since the public beta and have installed every update since with no problems, and that I backup religiously, I can't say I feel paranoid about Apple's OS updates to do this.

perhaps this is grossly naive but wouldn't a safe boot do much the same thing?

As a relatively new user, that paranoia was exactly what I was trying to avoid. I too believe that Apple's OS updates are quite sound. Creating that uncustomized account and seeing it log in cleanly helps cement that belief with direct experience -- once I see the login with my own eyes, I know and remember that the OS install went fine. |
