8.6 is wayyy better- the system runs much much cooler.
>As someone who is in the middle of purchasing a 2400, I wonder what the
>general consensus is regarding 8.6. For those of you who have upgraded
>from 8.5.1 to system 8.6, would you recommend the upgrade? What were/are
>you happier with 8.5.1 or 8.6?

>>My 8.5.1 vs. 8.6 experience was the opposite of whoever said 8.5.1
>>was trouble on their 2400. I never, and I mean never, crashed under
>>8.5.1. Under 8.6, maybe once every two or three weeks it suddenly
>>quits about half of the running applications (as if I had hit "Shut
>>Down") and then hangs. I can't figure that one out, but since it's
>>so infrequent, it hasn't been much of a problem. The lower operating
>>temps and longer battery life under 8.6 more than outweigh this.
