Abstract: Heath McKnight Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), the new version of Apples 8+ year old operating system, Mac OS X, is an impressive upgrade from Leopard (10.5), which came out in late 2007. While it doesnt sport many new features as in years past, it doe...
Abstract: Snow Leopard isnt just a collection of new features. If that were it, Snow Leopard might not be a compelling upgrade. Instead, Snow Leopard builds a new foundation for speed and security combined with a boatload of nice touches that will make you sm...
Abstract: New releases of Apples Mac OS X operating system are highly anticipated because each one upgrades the Mac platform in the best way. That is, for Mac users, a new Mac OS X release is always like getting a new computer. Apple generally brags of hundred...

We're glad Apple put the brakes on marketing-driven feature bloat. Going in and overhauling the foundations and frameworks is a great idea - and something Microsoft is partly doing with Windows 7 in an attempt to woo disgruntled Vista and satisfied XP...
Big performance improvements, Forward thinking switch to 64bit, Painless installation
Incompatibility with applications and plugins, QuickTime changes not all positive, No upgrade path for legacy users

Abstract: Ask any Mac owner and they’ll likely tell you the Apple allure is a game of two halves: the reassuring hardware and the slick, consistent OS. Apple is finally delivering their latest version of OS X, v10.6 Snow Leopard, adding a new coat of polish to t...
Abstract: For a company known for breakthrough products with cool features, Apple this week is doing something unusual: It is introducing a key product with very few new features that are visible to its users. This new release, the latest major version of the Ma...
