I was at the Apple store yesterday, asking about Snow Leopard. I had understood earlier that it was an 'upgrade' from Leopard - but the guy in the store says it's a complete OS and has no previous requirements (except the firmware, I assume). So there is also one being sold for $200? -Dan On 16-Dec-09, at 9:10 PM, Mike Pfaiffer wrote:

When upgrading an Intel Mac from 10.4 to 10.6 I was able to skip 10.5 by using the $40 (after tax) upgrade package instead of the $200 complete package Apple wants 10.4 users to buy. It's been running for three or four days now with no serious problems. I just had to manually download newer versions of a couple of third party programs.
They've finally implemented something like the pager. They call it Open Spaces. By default it gives the user four virtual screens.
Later Mike
