New Snow Leopard Rolls Out Today

With Snow Leopard rolling out over the next 24 hours it’s important to know what it will actually do for you. Considerations of application compatibility and data backup need to be given thought. By all accounts it’s a neater, faster and slimmer (7GB) operating system. It’s also cheaper. A full install is worth $29 (US) or $39 here in Australia. The cost will give Microsoft a run on their next release. By all accounts so far it’s a winner. It’ll be interesting to see how public reaction will be in the next few weeks. I have yet to install it, but will probably do so in the next week or so.

In the meantime there’s a few places that you can visit to help you out;

• Lifehacker.com have posted a lot – including how to prep your machine for the install.
• Apple’s own website
• Australian CNet already have a video review of the system
