Abstract: Unflashy, inexpensive OS upgrade that adds improved 64-bit support, works with Microsoft Exchange Server, includes a raft of interface improvements and a new QuickTime, is faster and takes up less disk space than its predecessor. Best value Mac produc...
Abstract: Snow Leopard is at the same time quite appropriately, and entirely misleadingly named. Appropriately, because it is, as the moniker betrays, more an upgrade to the previous incarnation of OS X than a radical overhaul. Misleading because while a l...
Abstract: Compared to its predecessor, Snow Leopards release at the end of August was met with a muted reaction. It even arrived slightly ahead of schedule. So why wasnt there a bigger celebration? ...
Speed improvements in core features, price, some neat tweaks
Some might question having to pay for it, needs third party application updates for full benefits to come through

Generally faster than Leopard; supports Exchange; rudimentary malware checking; most applications run in 64-bit mode; improvements to Exposé and Dock.
Lackluster QuickTime Player update; many features won’t truly be exploited until Mac hardware evolves. Min specs: Mac computer with an Intel processor; 1GB of memory; 5GB of available disk space; DVD drive for installation.
