Earlier today, Apple announced that Snow Leopard will be available on Friday, August 28th. So that's when we'll start running Snow Leopard hints, in their own category (as with 10.4 and 10.5). When submitting hints on Snow Leopard, it will help me if you note that it's a Snow Leopard hint somewhere in the hint or title -- just include 10.6 somewhere and I'll know to code it when we run it.
Thanks! -rob.

And will it eat us alive?

And will it eat us alive?
I predict a few upgrade gotchas, though not an overwhelming number (unless the media beats them up).
Snow Leopard's coming soon!
I cannot wait, I love lepord it is a great addition to the existing ones. This one will be even better I am sure, now I just have to figure out how to use it.
Product Reviews
Annnnnd here's #1:
"Apple has discontinued support for legacy Palm OS devices in Mac OS X Snow Leopard's iSync 3.1.0"
[stares glumly at our two Palm T|X's] Now the question is, will Palm's old desktop software still work? Sigh. ---
Annnnnd here's #1:
yes, if it ever worked, it will still work. I suggest switching to iCal and Missing Sync, in any case.

Download install is just fine with me -- beats losing all that software!

Does anyone know if this will cause me to reinstall my Win XP partition via Boot Camp?

Has anyone heard at what time Snow Leopard goes on sale? Some of the recent OS releases were at 6 pm. If there is no time listed in the press release can I assume it be for sale when the store opens?
Annnnnd here's #2:
Adobe drops support for CS3 under Snow Leopard (or in other words, upgrade to CS4 or eat dirt, suckers.) Does this mean CS3 won't run under SL? I have no idea, but it sure doesn't sound encouraging.
Caution was the right answer.
See this site:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ ...they totally screwed the pooch. I have *many* of the apps on that page that fail under Snow Leopard. And I certainly am not buying new versions to replace versions that work fine now under 10.5. Not going to be upgrading under these conditions. Either they fix Snow Leopard so current software works, or 10.5 is end of the road. There's no point at all in saving 6 gigs if the upshot is you broke a large percentage of all the software out there. I've thought since they announced it that this was far too ambitious a task for a company that can't get minor upgrades out the door working properly. I was right. ---
Call a downgrade what it is.
fyi world: FreeHand on a PPC Mac with Leopard still beats the pants off Illustrator on any hardware with any OS. CS4 isn't 64-bit so the AI bloatware isn't going to see any speed boost from Snow Leopard. That plus Adobe's lack of CS3 support means that all of us giving them money are getting suckered.
