Snow Leopard

I’ve had Snow Leopard on my iMac for a few days now, and aside from having to update a couple of programs, I haven’t had  any major problems. And it certainly seems to me to live up to what I expected. Generally faster load times for most applications including Safari and Mail and a few minor enhancements which I am gradually discovering.

Sadly though, it seems that I am one of the lucky ones. For a sizeable minority of users, Snow Leopard has been a bit more of a scary experience…

snow-leopard-snarl_1This article from ilounge chronicles some of the woes that people have been having. It’s an uncharacteristic and unfortunate let down from Apple, particularly badly timed in view of the upcoming release of Windows 7. Windows “fans” (had to use inverted commas as it’s hard to imagine a true “fan” of Windows) are sure to gloat if Windows 7 has a smoother release, which I imagine it might.

So while personally I’m happy with Snow Leopard, I might decide to wait until the next point update before I install it on my MacBook Air as well – I’ll just stick with the warmer climate Leopard for now and hope they get all the bugs ironed out fast.
