They really need to address fan performance, as the ones in my Late 2008 Unibody MBP have been off-the-charts loud with even the slightest processor-intensive task ever since I installed Snow Leopard.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.2 Build 10C514f to Developers

Damn it! I've been looking at buying an SSD drive to replace my 2x250gb RAID0 setup. Would free up a bay, less noise and heat and better performance.
Everything's working very well here on a Penryn 10.6.1 MBP. However, it could benefit from work on the graphics drivers. Flash performance seems a bit iffy and excessively demanding of the processor, apart from full-screen playback which works beautifully and efficiently (if you use Netflix online, upgrade to Snow Leopard NOW!). Fan performance very reasonable overall. I have found no other issues. Oh, and I got back more than 10GB of hard drive.
This is the fastest I've updated to a new system since Jaguar came out and released me from the hell of 9.2.2. Leopard always was kind of a pain for me.
Key thing for me is my CS3 and MS Office are working fine and everything else I regularly use, mostly stuff for academic research, issued updates within a few days of the SL launch.

I think that is good. Let them make Snow Leopard as stable as possible like 10.5.8 was. The only thing I hope is that, they don't "break" anything else when fixing this stuff.
The seed notes reportedly include a caution that there is a known issue with optical drives: that they may not be recognized and the eject key may not eject the media, and that DVD Player may hang. As a result, not all developers may choose to install this build.
I don't like that...
And maybe Adobe can finally fix their issues with Flash for Mac OS X, or is that too much too ask for?
Am I crazy?
Am I the only one that thinks that Apple released this OS 10.6 update too early? The only one that is affected by the incompatibilities? The only one that is now seriously concerned with the next series of incompatibilities (aka updates)?
Hello everyone. We should let Apple know that everything is not as sweet as Apple Pie.

No more app Crashes?
Amen, hopefully this update will fix the constant crashes with Photoshop, Safari, Preview, Mail involving graphics files.
Adobe has acknowledge that there is a problem (Apple or Adobe they didn't say) and they are working with Apple to fix, maybe this is it.

This release isn't an "update". It's a beta seed for registered developers.
There will be more seeds for devs until the release.
Two issues that desperately need to be fixed in Snow Leopard on my unibody MacBook:
Sleep. If I sleep the system and connect it to or already have it connected to my external display, while using either Apple's mini DisplayPort to VGA or mono price's mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, the system won't wake up properly. It wakes up then goes back to sleep immediately. On the second try it will work, but all of the icons in a Finder window will disappear and sometimes the menubar goes solid and won't change back.
Second issue is with audio. If I connect headphones or speakers, if its the first time after booting up, I will have to disconnect and reconnect them for the Mac to recognize the connection.
I did a clean install of Snow Leopard, no upgrading.
Neither of these problems existed in Leopard.
Neither of these problems currently exist in Windows 7 using Boot Camp 3

Wow, with this many fixes it sounds like waiting until 10.6.3 might be prudent.
All current models will run 10.5. The next round of HW upgrades won't.

The issues I got: Going straight to sleep mode instead of first going to screensaver, Hogs memory even though I switch application to open up in 32-bit (Don't know if that works or should make a difference), iTunes when inserting an audio CD it takes a while for the album info to be loaded from CDDB and also clicking the eject button on iTunes for my CD the spinning circle comes up and takes a while to eject.
I know that I need to upgrade my memory from 1GB to 4GB which I am planing to do so but since I have switched most application from running in 64-bit to 32-bit it still eats up a lot of memory also my EFI is 32 Bit until if there is some sort of firmware update to 64-bit don't know if that makes sense at all, I am not going to bother with 64-bit.

I'm also annoyed at Exposé! Before you could click a window and start typing right away (before the animation finishes) and the events would go to the new window, now it still goes to the old one until the animation finishes. This is SO getting on my nerves! I've lost count of the times that I had to undo changes to an unintended document due to this behavior.
That's funny... of all these problems folks are having w/ SL, yours is the only one I've experienced, with my audio I/O box -- and it's a real pain. Maybe they'll address it in the "Core Audio" fix, whatever that'll be. I've been surprised at this bug; usually Apple gets the multimedia architecture right, and leaves a million other things to be fixed later. Or so it seems.
I think it's a problem with the early 2008 iMacs. If you explicitly tell the machine to go to sleep, it goes to sleep no problem. But if you set it to go to sleep in Energy Saver, it just wouldn't go to sleep automatically.
Fix Damn Time Capsule
something that is really annoying the crap out of me, copying files to and from the time capsule have to be copied twice because the first file is continuously used by OSX, and TC keeps shutting down frequently... not appreciating SL as much as i thought i would

thinking the same thing..... probs a stupid thing to say but if a line of code works how the hell can it not work when Apple changes it... they seem to fix stuff but at the same time break stuff? i think it could be intentional?
