Snow Leopard review

—

Snow Leopard. Even the name seems to underpromise -- it's the first "big cat" OS X codename to reference the previous version of the OS, and the list of big-ticket new features is seemingly pretty short for a version-number jump. Maybe that's why Apple's priced the 10.6 upgrade disc at just ...

Snow Leopard reviews start coming in...
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence — ... major publications are starting to release their Snow Leopard reviews.  For what it is worth, I've been running Snow Leoaprd through the last few builds.  It just feels SNAPPIER™.

Snow Leopard: The Verdict(s) Are In
Technologizer — ... really is a no-brainer. For everyone else, maybe it’s not quite a no-brainer—but it’s awfully close. Snow Leopard is a great value, and any serious Mac user should upgrade now. Ed Baig, USA Today: In my experience, Mac OS X was already a superior operating system to Windows. With Exchange and other technologies, Snow Leopard adds bite, especially for business.

Snow Leopard reviews roundup
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) — ... With only a few hours more to wait until the packages start arriving and the stores start selling Snow Leopard, the reviews are beginning to pour in. To summarize: it's faster, it's (mostly) stable, yay new Finder, mostly yay new QuickTime (good thing you can still install the QuickTime 7 player), and in the words of our colleagues at Engadget: "Here's the thing about Snow Leopard, the single inescapable fact that hung over our heads as we ran our tests and took our screenshots and made our graphs: it's $30. $30!" ...
