Answer 3

A difficult question to answer because windows 7 beta is out but it is just a beta. Snow leopard beta isn't out. I will upgrade my Macbook Pro to snow leopard and i will most likely install Windows 7 on it too providing that it is a good OS so far Windows 7 beta has proven to be quite an experience an happy with it but hoping the finished product is just as good. Snow Leopard will be awesome too it cant deviate too much from OSX its just going to be a few enhancements in my opinion and i hear it is 64bit capable.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6) is the seventh and current major release of Mac OS X, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.



Snow Leopard was publicly unveiled on June 8, 2009 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. On August 28, 2009, it was released worldwide,[2] and was made available for purchase from Apple's website and its retail stores at the price of US$29 for a single-user license. As a result of the low price, initial sales of Snow Leopard were significantly higher than that of its predecessors.[3] The release of Snow Leopard came nearly two years after the introduction of Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5), the second longest time span between successive Mac OS X releases.



Unlike previous versions of Mac OS X, the goals with Snow Leopard were improved performance, greater efficiency and the reduction of its overall memory footprint. Addition of new end-user features was not a primary goal. Much of the software in Mac OS X was extensively rewritten for this release in order to fully take advantage of modern Macintosh hardware. New programming frameworks, such as OpenCL, were created, allowing software developers to use graphics cards in their applications. This is also the first Mac OS release since the introduction of System 7.1.2 that does not support the PowerPC architecture, as Apple now intends to focus on its current line of Intel-based products.[4]



Snow Leopard will be succeeded by Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7), which is expected to be released in 2011 during the Northern Hemisphere's summer.[5]

Answer 5

Snow Leopard when first released to the public cost $30.00 just as it does now.

Answer 6
