| 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.

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: http://gizmodo.com/5346418/snow-leop...nd-enlightened | |

That's the case for Windows at least.

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.
