This in no way implies new MacBook Pros tomorrow. They'd be all packaged up already, unable to update the software.
BTW, wonder if this works on my Hackintosh?
Or they already had it installed prior to this release.
Or they just have 10.6.2. They're unrelated so I'm not sure you could say either way.
That's a valid point, but there are also people who like things that work properly.
Finally! I've been waiting five years for my Powerbook G5!
My update is 758.8 MB...2008 iMac.
I think it's all about everyone's personal needs and wants. I personally don't need or want anything that Snow Leopard has to offer. Once it supports TRIM for SSDs I'll upgrade because I want to upgrade to SSD soon. I'm also waiting to finish a big project I'm working on and until I get CS5. Plus I usually wait about halfway through a new system's cycle till I upgrade. It let's Apple work all the kinks out. I didn't move to Leopard until they were at about 10.5.4 and there was certain software I wanted that needed 10.5. I can't take the risks of running early stage OSs if I don't need to.
I'm still on 10.5.8 and very happy.
I hope an article surfaces soon, although I'm perfectly happy with my 2.66 C2D although I'm considering selling and getting an antiglare model, hopefully arrandale drops with it so it's a worthy upgrade... not sure though, i like the glassy screen half the time and the other half i'm not crazy about reflections but cosmetically the black border looks better imo.
My laptop is only one month old
still extremely with it (especially over my early 2008) and dont really care what the outcome is.
I don't see it, does it have it or not? I was hoping that it would be in this update as well.
Working great, but I don't think i'm going to notice too many changes since I already had no problems, still, keeping up to date is a good idea security-wise
I was wondering if there are any new vid cards supported, since that would be a good sign of new mac pros.
Not quite true. This is not a new feature upgrade. It exists only to fix bugs. If you don't have any of these bugs, you only have potential downside with no up.
I am generally one of the first to install new software (I usually install it on a test system first). I will not be installing this soon because it will be of no use to me.
Honest question. I still haven't switched to Snow Leopard; actually, I switched back to non-Snow when, last September, I bought a MacBook, and discovered Acrobat Reader, and a few other programs didn't work with SL.
Laugh, go ahead. But it was important to me. What am I really missing by not having Snow Leopard? And, at some point, won't Snow and non-Snow just merge?

No, the manufacturing ramp would preclude the availability of Macs tomorrow with an operating system released today. It would probably take two weeks (maybe a month) between RTM and general availability of hardware with the new OS.
Apple does not "merge" operating systems. Snow Leopard 10.6 is the successor to Leopard 10.5, just as the latter was the successor to Tiger 10.4.
