Snow Leopard info goes live on Apple site; pre-order today, delivered Friday
What better way to start off a work week than to completely ignore all of your responsibilities and order up a new OS for your computer? That’s right ladies and gents; tips came in droves earlier this morning to let us know that the Apple Store went down in the wee hours. Well it’s not yet back in action but Apple’s Mac OS page is up and it now bears info on the OS upgrade Mac users have been clamoring for… OS X 10.6, a.k.a. Snow Leopard. It was due to arrive in September but the final beta was issued way ahead of schedule so Apple apparently decided to launch it early. It’s definitely a smart move if you ask us — allow students to upgrade just before the new semester starts, as opposed to a week or two into their term when the panic finally sets in. Snow Leopard can be pre-ordered now and it will begin shipping this Friday, August 28th. The new OS will run you $29, as we’re sure you recall, and Family Packs run $49.
Nice. Now I won’t have to try upgrading my MBP while I’m supposed to be doing actual work. Asuming it gets here in a reasonable amount of time.
Order placed!
Order Placed.
Did Apple add serial numbers/registration codes to limit the Family Pack to 5 machines and Single License to 1 machine?
I’ve got 6 macs that my family uses and wonder if I can stretch the Family Pack to cover the additional machine, or if I really have to be an additional license.
Too much traffic? When I click the Pre-Order button, I get an error page: “Hmm, the page you’re looking for can’t be found.”
Smelly: They are $29 each ffs. Just buy an extra and help support Apple.
looks like he’s been playing in the snow
Order placed! Cant wait!
I ordered mine from the Apple website as well for $9.99….too hard to resist…
Order placed! Woot!
I really want to preorder today myself but I think i’ll wait until the first update just in case it’s a little buggy.
Order placed! Can’t wait for all the basic apps to be at 64bit!!
Smelly,
Just install it on your 6th mac, seems to me you’ve already supported Apple enough with all those machines.
FYI my new macbook pro I got yesterday was loaded with snow leopard! The new desktop is sweet, here is a screenshot to get you guys excited! Good luck to all of those who order!

Wow, I’m soooo excited over the new upgrade Snow Leopard for Mac. I’ve been using Mac for years in
My work for many years now and this new surprise arrival is very much accepted and long awaited. Thanks MAC. The prices I think are pretty reasonable. What do other people think of this? I would love to get some feedback. Thank you and have a great day and enjoy your new Snow Leopard upgrade.
