Apple Announces August 28th Availability of Snow Leopard

Ask Gordon Brown why you are paying VAT. Then ask him why the pound is so low compared to the dollar right now. Then ask him if Apple is paying any import duties. Then calm down some, and then come back here.

The GB£ is actually at its highest against the USD$ for quite some time now at approx USD$1.64 to the GB£1.00 compared to USD$1.4 to GB£1.00 which it had been for most of the first part of this year

Apple has ALWAYS delivered on the date. Always. I had Leopard hours before the release (remember the lines at Retail Stores, Leopard released at 6:00pm on its date of release). I remember asking why people didn't pre-order so they didn't have to wait in line? The thing about going to the store and waiting in line was getting the Leopard t-shirt.

Or add something to the conversation; that would work, as well.

I bet he has not even tried any of the snow leopard builds hehe

I bet you're wrong, but since you'll never believe me, let's just drop this argument and get back on topic, thanks.

The equivalent price US customers pay - as was the point of the original comment.

So take it up with U.K. VAT Services, not Apple. :eek: I don't think that VAT should be any more than 10%, but you guys have to be taxed.

Did you read the rest of my response that said that when you look closer it actually seem to even out? Guess not
 
Anyone else planning on waiting until 10.6.1? Leopard's pretty solid and I've been reading developer reports here and there about some lingering bugs. Leopard had this same issue when it first came out, although for $29 I can understand why people aren't hesitant to jump on SL from Day 1.

After the pain of 10.5.0 there is no way I will be going anywhere near 10.6 until I am completely convinced it is stable with all my applications, period. I will not put myself the torture of waiting for 10.6.2.

But that's not fun!

I know one thing I'll be doing. I'm going to make a clone of my Leopard Drive, install Snow Leopard on it, and if anything goes wrong, I'll just restore to my Leopard drive.
 
Included with new Macs?

If I buy a new Macbook on Friday or Saturday at an Apple Store, will I get a free copy of Snow Leopard? Obviously it won't be pre-installed, but I'd rather not have to send away for the $9.95 upgrade. Do they usually just give you a copy of the disc to install yourself?
 
Looks like the box cover images were legit, then.
That snow leopard pic everyone was complaining about is right there on the site.

your fanoyism adds **** all:rolleyes:
 
Just ordered the family pack for 2 of the Macs in the house (not the ones in my sig sadly :eek:))

I'm in the UK and think it's a bargain ;)

Pretty sure 10a432 is the final build. Some of those 10a435 images looked faked.

Well, just that some images looked faked doesn't proof that 10a432 is the final build. Maybe Apple even manages that some builds don't leak...

My UK order email says -

''

We estimate your order to be shipped by By August 28th.
We expect your order will arrive by post to your shipping address on or before .

^^That's what I mean. If it's shipped on 28th, it won't be delivered on same day, likely.

Umm VAT alone does not equate to nearly a 40% increase in price. VAT in the UK is currently at 15%. So your argument is null and void.

So if you need 10.5 does the box set come with 10.5 and 10.6?
Or is it one disk with the two on it which would be different from the normal 10.6 disks????
Confusing or what??
Click to expand...

The disk in the box set is exactly the same as the up-to-date disk but does not check to see if you have Leopard installed (and presumably has an "erase and install" option in the installer.)

Its not just apple, the 3rd party Devs are rushing to make their Apps 10.6 compatible, so come the 28th, many people will be having a poorer experience then they are now until those 3rd party apps are compatible or bug free

It's pretty stable and noticeably faster. The only annoying thing I've come across is that when changing a 32bit app's system preferences (Growl) I have to log out out of the 64bit and into 32bit. Click to Flash also seems to be broken in the 64bit version of Safari.

Snow Leopard wasn't rushed liked Leopard.

I have the same question!
