Are people out of their minds? This report says that 20% of Macs are now running Snow Leopard. That's insane. Apple has shipped its first updates to X.6.1 but there are still many reports of odd behavior. The one about fonts is a show stopper for me. Maybe it is the $25 price that got everyone moving. Has any one on the list upgraded to Snow Leopard?

"Eighteen percent of Mac users are running Snow Leopard just one month after its release, according to Web metrics firm Net Applications. That’s a remarkable upgrade rate for the latest iteration of OS X, especially considering Snow Leopard is Intel only. Overall, OS X now represents 5.12 percent of the worldwide OS market, up from 4.87 percent in August. While that might seem like a small increase, it’s up 37 percent from a year ago, and the platform is seeing a continuing a steady rise. In contrast, Windows has now fallen below 93 percent, though the release of Windows 7 will likely result in a temporary spike. Nonetheless, OS X is moving up, as is iPhone OS. "
