Snow Leopard

When Apple unexpectedly announced last Monday that the Mac OS X Snow Leopard update will be available Friday I thought I'll probably wait a few weeks before getting it. We bought both Ramona's and my MacBook Pro after Mac OS X Leopard was already available so I wasn't sure what to expect. Coming from the Windows world I would not have installed Vista on top of XP trusting it will make things better or faster (let alone free up hard disk space). Well, on Tuesday I caved and ordered a copy of Snow Leopard, which arrived yesterday ;-)

Installed in less than an hour all my applications still work and as promised more free space on my disk. Overall I like the improvements they made (at least the ones I already found) and the OS just feels "snappier". Now let's wait for the developers out there to really take advantage of the new capabilities of this release and make things go even smoother in the future!
