u think if i buy thr family pack and share it out would work ? ? ? or is it gotta be in the householdworks out cheaper if we all chipped in . . .dont really care about the start up and shut down, always leave it on sleep . . .but is it worth it tho ? ? ? jus heard its fast . . .

[Flex]

from what i've read i'm one of the very few to have this problem. back up ur stuff b4 u install, the fail rate on the bootlegs seems pretty low.

[The Curse]

should of just downloaded it...

Probably, but i figured whats the point... Apple were offering me a legit update for only £7.95...hardly breaking the bank.Finally installed it, apart from the minor tweaks to finder, quicktime & expose...nothing else is really noticeable to me....Ive read its mainly all under the hood changes that we'll benefit from later on.

It was like he switched off the plug...Why arent Microsoft replicating this kind of thingI know a little bit more then the average user. So can somebody with greater knowledge answer a couple of QsWhat makes Macs the industry standard for Media ProductionWhy haven't Microsoft brought out some OS that does replicate Mac OS technology instead of VistaIs it easy to obtain copied software for macs...because I dont want to cop one for a Multimedia and Music course and then nto be able to get Vista, finalcut, flash etc

I heard this OS had a reduced memory trail so it will free up like 11 GB of mem from your HD after install

They say it was a top secret release and only The top of the pile new to ensure it didnt get out.They are saying next week but still hasn't been dispatchedBeen in all week fr no damn reason.

True, I got back about 7gb of memory. But again I read its just a different way of OSX calculating the memory. anyway, 10.6.1 got released yesterday. It addresses some bugs.

I didnt know apple offered the option to download Snow over their website, they sent me an upgrade disc... not complaining tho, still would have opted for a disc.

Heads up for anyone who's installing it and uses a guest account

Users of the new Apple operating system Snow Leopard are experiencing massive data losses when logging into their machines under a guest account.The problem appears to affect those who had a guest account enabled before upgrading to Snow Leopard.Users have in some cases lost their entire main profile, including sites, pictures, videos and documents.The problem, reported by more than 100 users on discussion forums, surfaced shortly after the OS's August release.The issue follows closely on the heels of vast data losses by the Sidekick handset in the US, whose software was designed by Microsoft subsidiary Danger.Unwelcome guestIndications are that the Snow Leopard bug simply treats the principal account like a guest account - meaning that the account profile is wiped clean when logging out.Users who first log into a guest account and then into their normal account have found it to be completely reset to factory default settings, with none of their personal data or files visible."I've been using Macs for decades...what the heck have I done here?" wrote user Wingrove on the Apple discussion forums on Monday."Repeated restarts and logins never get me back to me usual user acc(ount)."Those who use backup services including the Mac's own Time Machine can restore their lost data, but it appears that for those who do not, the data is permanently lost.Apple said in a statement that the problem "occurs only in extremely rare cases" and that it was working on a fix.In the meantime, users should delete previous guest accounts and, where necessary, create new ones that are "native" to Snow Leopard.
