    Running Mac OS X Snow Leopard

    Update cost $29.00 and took about an hour to install. No issues installing. 1Password requires a beta version that can be downloaded from their site. Everything else running well and faster. Love it!

          Isn't it supposed to take up much less disk space too? Did it clear out a lot of extra files?

            It's about 1/2 the size.

            They dumped all the legacy PowerPC files and the printer drivers.

            I do that with all of my OSX install anyhow. It usually frees up 4-7 gb.

            Spend you some brain.

                It is about half the size of Leopard. Approx 14GB of freed up space.

                            $29.99 for the upgrade? Damn that's cheap.

                                  It is mostly improvements to speed up the Mac. Not too much has changed as in new gadgets. QuickTime was improved. You can record videos with it now and also record the desktop. Exchange support added.

                                    You have to wait for the CD to ship or pick it up at the apple store.

                                        Even though this is an upgrade from leopard to snow leopard rumor is you can go straight from tiger with the snow leopard upgrade disk @ $29.00 and do not need the full snow leopard box which is $169. Save that $140!

                                                  Running it here. It has some nice small feature changes and yes there is a speed increase on certain things. More programs will be affected as they upgrade to the new architecture.

                                                      Installed it on my MacBook Pro and my iMac. So far....so good : )

                                                      I'll wait a few days before installing it on my Mac Pro - just to be safe!

                                                          huge improvements, some shit they will most likely need to patch or 3rd party people will, but all in all great.

                                                          interesting new feature. I always run my MBP with a 30" monitor at the office and one at my home office. now, each 30" monitor has it's own BG and i still have a different one on the laptop screen. weird little thing but cool.

Supposed to run our GeForce cards better as well... havent tested any games yet, the new Quicktime player look is legit and clean. Overall:

Though I have experienced higher CPU loads (70%) when playing back Flash. SL will really start to shine when authors write their apps to take advantage of 64bit. I only wish Final Cut Studio did that now.
