Well, I'm certainly happy so far. Everything I use works in the 32 bit
kernel although EyeTV has a few issues and Office 2004 and some
older games still need Rosetta to be installed. In the 64 bit kernel,
EyeTV and Parallels don't work and Mathematica prompted me for
my serial number but worked properly after that. In either kernel,
just about everything is smoother, faster, better. Quicklook works
for still more file types including FLV. I especially like that in
Safari
the Flash plugin runs as a separate process so it can't take down
the browser. Also, I can quit the flash plugin process in Activity
Monitor if I don't like how much CPU it is using or if I am getting
annoyed by flash ads (like the particularly annoying ones that
expand to cover the top of the article if you happen to mouse
over them and then have to be manually dismissed in order to
read the article).

MacWorld's extensive coverage of Snow Leopard makes me think Apple
lied. This upgrade offers many significant improvements. Maybe Apple
marketing isn't impressed because they want big flashy additions
(which I'll probably never use). In contrast in Snow Leopard I'm
seeing lots of things that will be constantly useful to me. I'm happy
to get all these goodies for just $25 (Amazon's discounted price).
