Apple Users (Snow Leopard $35 shipped to your door!)
 

You can now pre-order OSX Snow Leopard for $35 canadian.. Shipped to your door from Apple's site. Where else can you get a new OS for so cheap. Apparently can be used as a clean install disc without having an existing OS on your Mac.

I don't think it's worth it :/ it's odd that it's only 29USD. minor upgrades and speedier load ups.

:lol

I got the e-mail too...

I'm still contemplating whether or not I want it....

Yeah me too. I was thinking if it's actually a decent improvement. I think I'll wait out till the next major upgrade.

Snow Leopard is one awesome upgrade. Yes, there are no fancy new features, they're all behind the scenes. One thing that is a big change, it will make your computer faster!

Snow Leopard is able to use all the cores in your computer and even use your video card to do calculations.

Look at the video in the review. 2x faster when opening files:

going to buy it at the apple store in pc tomorrow! i already have the gm from thepiratebay but will buy it regardless, just to support apple.

waiting for it to arrive :(

Interesting....I guess I'll have to go buy it now.

imona have my company buy this upgrade for me...i have 4 macs to upgrade..sweet...3 at work and one at home...

It's only 30 bucks.. just make your lunch for like two-three meals.

so this is not an upgrade disc? I can use it to do full erase and install? I have a pirated leopard can I still use this?

The reviews are saying it is the full version. Yes, you can still use it.

I can't wait!
it's suppose to be a lot faster, however its been said not a lot of apps has been writen to take advantage of snow leopard

^ Does that include Adobe CS4?

was the free shipping for pre-orders only? They are charging $6 for shipping now... guess i'll just drop by pacific center,....

crap I was hoping for an actual snow leopard for $35

Yeah it looks like it was for pre-orders only. They're charging shipping now.

anyone know if 1 disc can be used for multiple computer upgrades?

I have 2 macs running leopard, don't want to purchase 2 seperate upgrades.

check your user agreement thing, usually if you bought this from an educational institute, you can install it on 2 PCs.

That's the case for Windows at least.

there is absolutely no copy protection, apple is just doing the honor system

just bought it from the apple store in pc. lots of stock even at 8pm. the dvd can be used on as many computers as you like. there are no cd keys, no online activations either.

Snow Leopard is much faster... spotlight indexing, time machine backup, shutdown startup restart...

Really...?

I bought the family pack so that I can get up to 5 users...

Pretty sure you can only use it ONCE.

*edit: nevermind, there doesn't seem to be ANY of that crap. I just paid apple because I'm an honest person. Lame.

Hmmm if I am still running Tiger, do I have to get the mac set or can I just upgrade? According to the website, I must get the mac set....

Can someone confirm?

*edit: You can make the direct upgrade unless you want to upgrade all that crap as well.

I'll buy it, pirate it, and if the pirated copy works fine, I'll return the un-opened copy.

Apple has screwed me out of so much money, there's no way I'm giving them any if I don't have to. GF wants it, otherwise I wouldn't bother. I never use the Macs because they're such piles of shit.

I'm saddened I can't legitimately download it for free like Windows 7 from our MSDNAA.
