Re: Snow Leopard: Ahead of schedule?
It would be good to get this early, provided that it isn't rushed out before it's ready and they need to patch it 5 times in the first year like Leopard.

Re: Snow Leopard: Ahead of schedule?
I can't wait for posts about triple booting Tiger, Leopard and Snow.


I'd like to see significant RAM in an eSATA equipped MBP and even more multiple cores along with multiple core aware software that jumps performance 50 percent or more. Go Apple.

Re: Snow Leopard: Ahead of schedule?
Does anyone know if Snow Leopard is going to work on both G5 and Intel processors?

Re: Snow Leopard: Ahead of schedule?
I believe Snow Leopard has been optimized for Intel processors only.

Re: Snow Leopard: Ahead of schedule?
I'm curious how Apple is going to release Snow Leopard. This is a unique OS release in that it's not adding consumer-friendly features that are easy to advertise and convince mainstream end-users they need.

So will it be a retail product that you purchase and install from a DVD? Maybe, but I'm actually hoping it will be a free upgrade for all Mac users with qualifying systems. Maybe it will even be a software update kind of thing...

Re: Snow Leopard: Ahead of schedule?
My guess is it will on new machines, if you want it on an existing machine you'll probably have to buy it, after all, Leopard is running fine on current Intel machines.

Gee, maybe Spotlight won't default its search to the entire drive now. :P
