Apple 10.5.2 update out - Time to Upgrage to Leopard?

People ask me (ok Mac people ask me) if they should upgrade their machines to Leopard (OSX 10.5). My answer has been for most, no, once 10.5.1 was out, it was OK for some, but still not for people who need their machine 100% everyday. Why? Is there a problem with 10.5? None really, but more with the applications they use, and that if your machine in working fine, and you need it 100% of the time, no need to rush!
So today marks the point where I say OK for most to upgrade to Leopard, but that doesn't mean you have to do it today, I'm sure there will be a couple new things that crop up with this update. It is a MASSIVE update as far as OS updates go, 180 to 300+ megs.
So unless you feel 100% ok doing it yourself, and suffer from can't wait syndromes like me (usually), wait, or get a tech to backup your machine 100% and let them take you from Tiger to Leopard.
If your on Leopard already, make sure your Time Machine backup is ready and get going... in a couple days :)
