So Apple sent in a 13″ Macbook Pro with the new Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) pre-installed so I can check out how the new OS upgrade performs.
I was actually hoping I’d get the unit with just Leopard (10.5) in it and have Snow Leopard on a disk that I can personally install. That way, I’d be able to test out Leopard first before upgrading to Snow Leopard and see the difference (or feel any improvements).
Some say Snow Leopard is more like a service pack than a total OS update. This could be due to the fact that there’s not much cosmetic differences between 10.5 and 10.6.
Earlier reviews by the big boys like David Pogue (NYT) got a lot of flak from the likes of John C. Dvorack and Leo Laporte (that got my curiosity/interest with Snow Leopard) but that’s another story about disclosures and conflicts of interests among journalists/bloggers .
Anyway, I’m hoping I could get something up after trying this rig. I’m sure those of you who own a Mac have already made the update so I’ll just focus on the stuff that us non-Mac users might appreciate.
