I’m pretty sure erasing hard drives was a risk with every OSX release until recently and wasn’t specific to Snow Leopard. Edit: To be clear, I don’t mean that every OSX release had this particular bug. But nearly every OSX release usually had at least 1 “you’ve lost all your data and your system is unusable” type of bug when updating.
