images/news/apple.jpgApple recently released Snow Leopard (SL) the latest iteration for OS X, the Mac operating system. It replaces Leopard, the previous version. The price is modest by Apple standards, $29 for a single license or $49 for a family five pack. Should you upgrade? The simple answer is yes, but with caveats.
Your Mac must be a relatively recent vintage that uses Intel chips rather than the older PowerPC architecture. Apple says you must be running Leopard and not Tiger, an earlier OS, to use the inexpensive upgrade. If you have Tiger you are supposed to buy the more expensive Snow Leopard Box Set, $169 for a single license or $229 for a family five pack. There are reliable reports that the $29/$49 Snow Leopard DVD works just fine with Tiger.

I am underwhelmed by SL. I wonder if Apple wanted to rain on the Microsoft Windows 7 parade and this was the best they could do. If so, it is a mist, not a downpour. Windows 7 is a huge leap forward for the user. Snow Leopard is not.
Is Snow Leopard worth the price? No. It feels like what Microsoft would call a service pack, which is always free. Many of SL's enhancements, particularly the accessibility enhancements, should have been released long ago.
