Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard available for preorder
We only have a couple of months to go before Apple officially releases the latest version of the Mac OS X operating system, Snow Leopard. Compared to previous versions, this latest upgrade of Mac OS X has less new features, but has a lot of improvements under the hood. Because of this, Apple has wisely priced it to move — if you have 10.5 Leopard, you can upgrade to Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard for just US$29.
If you want to be the first to upgrade, you can now pre-order your own copy of Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard from Amazon.
Highlights of Mac OS X Snow Leopard:
* Snow Leopard is built on a rock-solid, time-tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled stability as well as industry-leading support for Internet standards
* Improvements include a more responsive Finder, new look and features for Exposé and Stacks, quicker Time Machine backup, faster common tasks and installation, and a smaller install footprint
* New core technologies unleash the power of today’s advanced hardware technology and prepare Mac OS X for future innovation: 64-bit computing, multicore-optimization, OpenCL, QuickTime X
