Apple Snow Leopard OS Friday!

[Metalhead]

NWS due to language... One thing PC users can do that Mac users can't...

Reason I dont own a Mac? I'd like to actually do stuff.

Maybe I'm detached from the IT world, but when I saw "Apple Snow Leopard" I totally thought it was a new Slush Puppy flavor...

[Guest JHatmaker]

On my desktop and my wife's laptop we also use win7. Have you tried it?

Gotta agree, I'm a Mac and PC user (granted I haven't tried Leopard, or even Snow Leopard), but Windows7 is awesome.

[Guest mustangdave]

gotta be careful on this site....there's COUGAR thread over in the hunting FORUM...someone might want to take a shot at a SNOW LEOPARD

[Wrangler]

Try Snow Leopard and then say that.

[DavidCBaker]

Mine just arrived via FedEx. For those of you getting ready to install it, there are some significant software packages that are NOT yet compatible with it.

[Guest Ghostrider]

Snow Leopard up and running. Smooth, sweet, and quick. No muss, no fuss.

As for me, I haven't tried Win7 and at the moment, will not. When the company gets around to upgrading (yeah, right) my laptop, I will be better able to discuss it.

Hey, that's a sweet site metalhead, really shows a heap of intelligence, and puts the "fine points of logic" on the discussion.

As for the SL upgrade - well, I've used PCs since Win 3.1 was NEW and I can state without reservation that this is the least complex upgrade ever.

And as for actually "doing stuff", right now I'm taking a break from responding to two RFQs, Extracting training points from two PDFs to make an executive summary slide show, surfing the web, and downloading a couple of TV episodes. So yeah, I guess I'm not "doing stuff"... And no, I'm not running MS anything, so I guess I'm too stupid to "do stuff"..

Wow, you Mac folks really get defensive when anyone has anything bad to say about your Apples eh?

As for me, I'm still using XP Pro and it "just works" too. Vista, on the other hand, is a piece of crap that I refused to "upgrade" to.

I will give Apple a +1 for their low cost upgrade. But they get a -10 for the humorless buttpipes with superiority complexes that are Mac owners.(That was a joke. I only mention this because I fear I could be partially correct and that some humorless buttpipe may read this and get their panties in a bunch.)

Metalhead, that was a funny article. That guy's site is hilarious.

Ever been to the APPLE Store in Green Hills? This is all I will say...or its a real life "invasion of the Body Snatchers":screwy:

According to posts you should be able to use the upgrade cd as it is a full install. Just search the web. Even Walt Mossberg said use the upgrade cd on Tiger machine.

WOOT! Looks like it is time for snow leapord baby! Giggity giggity goo!

I would try it but it would cost me a couple of thousand dollars. I don't have a MAC.

Installing SL on my Macbook right now, looking forward to running @ 64 bit!

[G27]

Man, running great and FAST!

[Guest bkelm18]

Wow people really love their computers. They're just machines, folks. Just machines. It'll be ok if you like something that someone else doesn't.

[Guest FiddleDog]

Ok. Noticeable difference. Very nice.

[Guest HexHead]

I've heard today that SL is a little buggy. A first for Apple on a OS release. I'll wait until the first update before jumping in.

Not a first, Leopard had it's growing pains as well.

So far, a few hours in, no issues here - stable and fast.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember that too. I waited until I got my rebate on my iPhone to get Leopard, so it might have been de-bugged by the time I actually loaded it?

David Pogue in his SL review in the NYTimes, while very positive about it, did say the browser was an issue. Also I've read reports that it's having a hard time finding some device drivers. I'm sure the first update will be forthcoming and fix all that stuff.

I had no problems upgrading my 20 in from Tiger to Leopard, and I bought it the night it became available. Talk about the faithful journeying to mecca - MacAuthority off I65 was jammed...
