Photo by Tundraboy
Apple's Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 officially launched today, though to much shorter lines than previous launches. Snow Leopard reviews started appearing a couple of days ago and most found it to be a worthy upgrade especially for the $30 upgrade price.
Apple has posted a number of support documents detailing changes and tips for the new Mac OS X operating system:
- Bootcamp 3.0 FAQ
- 10.6 Wake on Demand
- New Gamma Settings
- Incompatible Software
- Battery menu changes
- Printer and Scanner compatibility
Apple also provides a detailed list of changes found in Snow Leopard. More discussion and support can be found in our forums.
Snow Leopard is available online through our affiliate partner Amazon.

I'm home, and it just arrived. Will begin installing on my 1st gen MBP with Core Duo soon. The Fed Ex lady said she had a LOT more of these to deliver today, so that's good!

I really like the "Read Mac Volumes" new feature in Boot Camp. Now I just need Snow Leopard. :D

Installing now on my 2008 MBP. Telling me it will take about an hour, not 15 minutes like all the reviews yesterday said. :confused:

Can anyone who has been to a retail store today confirm whether or not they're giving away t-shirts?

I got mine this morning and just finished installing it - works great so far!
simple easy to install, however my installation got hung up (not froze, just wouldn't restart) trying to restart itself, so I had to manual push my power button and restart it, then it worked fine, like 25 minutes.
- expose definitely looks different with a blue border around the tile images.
- new quicktime icon
- mail update took 1 minute with all my mailboxes.

battery icon replacement?
