I am looking forward to see what they are offering in Snow Leopard. But I am curious what the price will be if any. If its just an improvement upgrade and not many features as they say, I don’t see how paying $130 this time around will be worth it. Even though the thought of having Exchange support would be sweet. It gives IT one less excuse why not to use a mac giving their co-workers one more alternative than just “Windows”.

If its not feature packed like they said, hopefully the price will be a lot less. None the less I look forward to see what Apple has in-store for this os. I love what I’ve seen so far… can’t wait for the future. – DasFamiliar

OS X 10.6 sounds like its gonna be great already. Just with the words of improving performance it already sounds great. Its great that it will be optimized to take advantage of of multi core processors in a much better way. Also the OpenCL thing sounds great. If your not gaming or watching a HD movie or doing some other GPU intensive thing your graphics card is basically just relaxing doing nothing. But now with OpenCL it will help the CPU. That sounds great. But theres only one bad thing about all of this. I DON’T OWN A Mac lol. But i hope that will change in the near future so that I can experience Snow Leopard.

ok not that much new features will be added but I’d will increase secureit? Doesn’t it already have a really secure foundation? Apple is really overdoing this, they are just trying to just massively rush and just throw useless products to us

I think Apple are doing the right thing here. I mean, of course its about selling more stuff in the end, they are a profitable company after all! But I think they are genuinely doing this because its what the Mac owners, Apple geeks and just general consumers have asked for.

However, I would also like to know if it is going to be an update or whether we will have to purchase it. I personally think that the latter is most likely, because Apple don’t usually advertise software updates this way. Even so, I think that Snow Leopard will become the first operating system that I have actually walked into a shop and paid money for, without getting a new system with it pre-installed or ‘borrowing’ some old XP discs from my school.. ;)

I am quite happy with my 2.2Ghz white MacBook from last year, and of course I would like an upgrade to one of the newer Apple machines. But it is doing my fine. I love my MacBook and would never switch back to Windows as my main machine, however when I first got it, I was a bit disappointed that 20GB of my Hard Drive was already taken up, before I’d even transferred any files onto it! I later got rid of all the un-needed language packages and came close to getting rid of the GarageBand loops, etc, but I probably will use it at some time and don’t really want to get rid of too many Apple pre-installed apps.

Conclusion: well I think it is almost certain that I will purchase Snow Leopard when its released. And if its a free update? Even better! First though, I will upgrade my RAM and hard drive.. :P

“Your GPU will potentially be turned into basically another CPU. They’re going to redirect the GPU, and make it do more for you. That’s fantastic!”

This feature in itself sounds amazing on the surface. I am quite skeptical however that this is a Apple Innovation. As Operating Systems such as Linux and Windows Vista both have lightened CPU loads by having the user interface completely handled by the GPU. While this is not using the GPU as a CPU it does seem like the idea could have been inspired from it.

If this can be done efficiently it will only be a matter of time before Windows and Linux. “Copy” if I can use that word, the same thing.

Windows 7 vs OS X Snow Leopard. I wonder what that shall be like….

I’m more interested in Snow Leopard, Windows Vista is pretty new and they’re already planning the release for windows 7…. ughh I hope it’s not Vista all over again, but on the other hand it might be amazing. We’ll see n the future, but since I’m a Leopard user I’ll be leaning towards Snow Leopard, but I also have multiple Windows machines.

Oh boy oh boy, I got one question tough, is it going to be like an automatic update, or is it going to be like all the rest, that you gotta go buy it?

In case someone reads this comment and knows the answer, email me to cananito@gmail.com

They are taking flak all over the net for this – people demanding that SL be a free or low-cost upgrade, after all “it’s just a service pack”. But it takes cojones for a software company to do the right thing. Good one, apple.

I disagree.

I think EVERY new version of OS X is made for one reason and one reason alone: To make the hardware they are “currently” selling more attractive to buyers than the hardware they were selling “last year”. It’s about selling new boxes.

If last year’s customers want to upgrade, that’s OK… but it’s nowhere near being a motivating factor.

Proof: Macs “last” between five and eight years, on average*, yet anyone with hardware older than four years rarely gets invited to the party.

* (Some lemons die soon, some tanks last a decade or more. Both get web pages written about them.)

Wow, a concept Microsoft should try. Take your OS and just make it better.
