Mmmm GraphicsDrivers.. I hope a few of their developers/testers are running Steam.
I agree mate! even if its just a little bump in performance for now, that would be cool

I would like to see the ability to Cut in the Finder. Having to have two Finder windows open so I can drag and drop is an incredibly slow way to get around things. Especially if I'm buried deep in the file system and want to move some files as I have to open another Finder window and bury myself once more.
Is there a workaround?

Personally, I think the overall quality of Mac OS X has gone down a bit since Tiger. Not to say Snow Leopard doesn't have advantages over Tiger, but the overall stability has dipped. I still prefer Mac OS X over Windows and the Linux distros I've tried. The more product lines Apple introduces, the more I worry the overall quality of Apple's products will dip.
As far as the next maintenance release of Snow Leopard goes, I really hope they fix some of the Universal Access bugs. VoiceOver needs quite a bit of bug squishing, and there have been some pesky zooming bugs that have been around since Leopard.
Hoping for an update too. OpenSSL is still outdated:

Mac OS X 10.6.3 use OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009
But the question is whether OpenSSL 1.0 break ABI/API compatibility with OpenSSL 0.9.8l - that could be an argument by Apple given how widely it is used in the operating system.
Edit: I hope that when 10.7 is announced that we'll see some big improvements when it comes to the various components such as Samba, OpenSSL, Webkit2 etc
Adobe said they have no plans to make CS3 work with Snow Leopard.
Its not up to Apple.
I actually think Leopard is a better OS. Yeh, its not quite as stable, but it has UI elements I miss when working on another OS.
EDIT:
I remember Tiger being buggy till about 10.4.8.
Wow Winni. You never fail to amaze me. Don't get me wrong, Linux is great but um...
Holy crud do I even need to say this?
Macintosh OS X = more mature than Linux
Heck Windows is even more mature than Linux. Both of these have much more public and third party support then Linux. For someone who needs a handful of third party software to make a living I just don't think Linux will cut it.
FYI we need both Microsoft and Apple. Sure Linux matters too of course. But none of these companies should be going away.
As for who needs Apple?
Pfft. IIRC the company gave the Personal Computer revolution a big um... boost?
NOTE TO APPLE:
Still waiting for my disk utility fixes. =/

Bias, Bias, Bias and FUD.
Bloody hell Winni, you tweaked your .Net engine or something?

For the most part, Linux is behind (I'll even go as far as allergic to) decent UI and usability aspects.
Tiger was a great release? come on, it only became tolerable at 10.4.4/5 - and the Finder a horrible; constantly hanging if a SMB share suddenly disappears and god forbid if you disconnect form the network before unmounting a share! then there were performance and power management wasn't as good etc. For me, 10.6 was the first release of Mac OS X that I felt comfortable running right from x.0 - compared to the previous releases 10.6 is maturing into a nice operating system which will hopefully lay the foundations for a completely Cocoa world once all the major vendors have moved across.
I agree with you. The only issue I've had with 10.6 is the incredibly slow SMB browsing. I really hope they fix this issue.
Unfortunately I don't see things improving a whole lot because at the end of the day Apple and in turn Samba programmers are chasing a moving proprietary target where what is required is for Apple to support a multi-platform alternative like iFolder which would be a better solution than chasing a moving target.
So i tried lots of ways, and nothing happened.
Can some one please help me with my problem? I have macbook white with Snow leopard 10.6.4, and in a very few days the front light died, that little light that means that your mac is turned on, and my macbook crashes all the time every 40 minutes. I had an error in DISK UTILITY I did fix it, but then it get back and I don't know what do.
thanks for who can help me.
