The Ars Technica review of Snow Leopard that Tom Carter pointed out
the other day got me sufficiently excited to order it, and a friend
who is returning from the states next week can bring it to me here in
Ecuador. While I'm waiting, I am looking into how best to install it
on a separate partition of my MacBook Pro, in order to gradually
migrate applications and user data over from my Leopard partition. The
main applications that I use extensively and would have any concerns
over are Skype and Sketchup. Skype sounds potentially problematic
(users have reported it taking more CPU on Snow Leopard than on
Windows running under Parallels on Snow Leopard). Sketchup, Office
2008, and Photoshop CS3 sound good to go, and I would hope that the
OSX apps like Mail and Safari would be fine as well. And they released
10.6.1 yesterday. I'll post about my experience after I have given it
a try.
