A nice, meaty upgrade to Snow Leopard will be good. Hopefully they don't wait until 10.7 to finish the new QT (getting it up to the features of QT 7) and upgrade iTunes to 64b.

I haven't really noticed, but iLife isn't fully 64b either, is it?

'... contains only one known issues' this surely has to mean the full release is just around the corner :)

Still nothing in the seed notes about the trackpad/exposes bouncing windows issue :(

iTunes 9 has always been 64 bit. They'll do 64-bit for the rest in iLife '10
 
I have been having issues playing the multiplayer game cube 2 sauerbraten, it freezes and crashes and can not even quit so I have to restart my computer. Does this mean the graphic driver updates going to fix that issue? I have a ATI Radeon X1600 Graphics card.


Well I can not wait to see what other problems it will fix for me, I guess we all have to wait until next or the week after.:rolleyes:
 
Please Apple fix the issues with Duel Systems Adapters, they worked perfect in Leopard (Apple even included the drivers) but in SL there's no support grrr.

Unless someone knows of another good adapter that would allow PCMCIA cards to be used with a Mac Book Pro with ExpressCard

My understanding is that iTunes 9 still uses Carbon, not Cocoa. Carbon as far as I know is not being granted the ability to run 64bit, for 64bit goodness iTunes would need to be rewritten in Cocoa.

One known issues eh?
 
iTunes for Mac users is not 64bit but for Windows Vista and Windows 7 is. What I don't get is whats with all the rush for 64bit? I like how apps load faster in 64bit but I think a lot of people are still misunderstanding what the point of 64bit is.

Also, I heard that Microsoft is planning a 128 Biit OS for Windows 8. Ridiculous in my opinion there is barely 64bit apps out yet and Microsoft is jumping ahead of themselves as usual.
 
What about the known issue of erasing all of a user's data if he logs in as a Guest? Will that be fixed in 10.6.2?
 
iTunes is 32-bit on Windows. The only thing that is 64-bit is the driver for the iThing.

It's been fixed in the future, and that means it never happened. So don't talk about it.

I think that's fixed, unless you're talking about something else.

I'm personally not using Snow Leopard at this time because it pisses me off how buggy it is. I really can't do anything for more than 5 or 10 minutes before things start crashing and getting slow. It's a pretty virgin copy too with not much additional software, and only one hack to get Time Machine working on an unsupported volume.
