I run Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on my Mac Pro, and saying that I'm disappointed would be an understatement.

The worst issue for me currently is the horrible wireless connection to my router; this worked great with Leopard and still works great with Vista 64 on that machine. But in Snow Leopard, the connection always drops or slows down to a crawl.

Then there are the compatibility issues. Montage still does not work at all and I don't need to repeat the list of known issues with other apps (like CS3, for example).

And besides everything that Apple's marketing machinery boasted about, there are ZERO performance improvements - rather the opposite. I think Finder is now slower than it was in Leopard, especially when you use the more detailed list view and browse through a folder with lots of movies or applications in it.

This "upgrade" is about to convince to cut my losses and fully switch back to Windows. It seems that besides nice designs and religious marketing, there is nothing more to expect from Apple anymore.
You have never had anything positive to say about Apple anyways so why should we take you seriously. I didn't even have to read who the post was from to know it would be you.

I have a macbook pro with 4 gigs of ram unibody. Snow leopard i believe makes my computer run smooth... Just like leopard did. Leopard was very stable. The added little tweaks are cool. LIke the new exposé. My photo library open a bit quicker and so does safari. As mentioned before, there aren't enough programs to take advantage of OpenCL. Apple is leading the pathway (as usual) for future softwares.

Some of you should understand that. It's like the people who used to say "hu, 1 gig of ram is rediculouse" or "why have 500gig Hard Drive"... Later to understand that SOME software required minimum 1 gig of ram and library grows into 500gig HD.

Future will be nice with apps made for 64bit computer running snow leopard. Apple was releasing the hardware (2 graphics cards) (core 2 duo) now with the operating software it is complete.

my 2 cents
