Other than that, I think not.
Can't wait to have a Mac that'll be able to leverage Open CL
Also, I'm really looking forward to getting Snow Leopard, don't get me wrong. It's just that on my MacBook, I don't see that upgrading to SL would be of much use.
While OS X can be better (anything and everything can always be better) it is the ONLY Apple product I can't complain about...
In fact, it is the ONLY Apple product, that still keeps me with Apple / Mac...
All the rest, both hardware and software, has been going down for quite some time

Let's hope that the calibration issues have been taken care of.
Since I moved to Snow Leopard, my i1d2 calibration device couldn't get a profile. I suspect a SL bug.

One fine day in the middle of the night, 2 blind men got up to have a fight,
back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other!
Snow Leopard is awesome. At least this is how I feel after 4 days.
The night was filled with dark and cold,
When Sergeant Talbert, the story’s told,
Pulled on his poncho and headed out,
To check the lines dressed like a Kraut.

Does anyone else have this in Snow Leopard (both 10.6.1 and 10.6.2):
Switching spaces and activating spaces is buggy and sometimes quite choppy or slow, it feels like you're on Windows and installed some program that gives you virtual desktops but your computer just can't handle it smoothly.
When I activate spaces (to see all of the spaces at once), sometimes, I see all the windows from all the spaces come together in the middle of the screen, and then quickly move to the space they're supposed to be in.
In Leopard all this was amazingly smooth and nice.
No big deal, but what I loved about Macs is they can handle such complex animations without slowing down. Well it's not true anymore...
Overall, Snow Leopard does't feel faster at all than Leopard, I would seriously say it's somewhat slower, especially if you're working on many windows at the same time, and switching between them.
First gen Unibody MacBook Pro, 4GB RAM.

Spaces for me is dreadful with regards to open plugin windows in Logic 9x but only when using button 4 on my mouse to activate spaces. Any open plugin window(s) follow you to the new window you select and you either have to activate spaces again and drag them back to the Logic space or close them on the new window resulting in quadruple clicking the plugin button in Logic to bring them back up again. I noticed that using the key command for switching spaces does not seem to cause this problem, it works as expected but interferes with my Logic key commands which is why I use the mouse button. Very frustrating! Anyone else seeing this when using an assigned mouse button to activate spaces? Sent a report to Apple a while back about this so hope it got through, it's been doing it since 10.6 first release. Cheers.
I haven't had that, but I've figured out one thing:
If I put a window in each of my spaces, then call spaces four times in rapid succession (tapping F8) all the windows from the other spaces merge into the current space, but exposé doesn't see them, and leaves them in the background. When you call spaces again, the windows go back to where they were.
It's hardly something that hinders usability, but hey, I was bored
I have an iMac (first 20" Aluminium @ 2.66GHZ) and well i just emptied the Trash and Quicktime X froze..... i think the biggest issues are a ****ed up Finder after rebuilding it (especially when transferring files to a Time Capsule... pisses me off) and Flash which in all fairness is not Apple's fault, but FFS build your own Flash support if you don't like Adobe and are not willing to help them! and finally if iWork 10 doesn't run faster than Preview on Mac i'm going to be really annoyed and fix iTunes so bloody slow
oh and if i see Time Capsule 500Gb or Time Capsule 1TB can not be found because the original location does not exist i'm going to chuck the damn thing at Steve's head... the damn things i don't understand why they don't work unless they are plugged in via Ethernet yet on my MBA they load perfectly fine! WTF
Hopefully they fix drag and drop from the Finder to/from/between network drives/NAS's. I'm sick of getting the "couldn't perform the operation because the item named <insert name> already exists" when it does not exist.
Have to resort to terminal and cp commands or something like Forklift (which still has issues with large groups of files).

I have had the same problem also and noticed when my wireless mouse/keyboard are running low on juice it starts to do that. So if you running low on battery could try to change them and see if it help.

I think it goes something more like this:
One fine day in the middle of the night, 2 dead boys stood up to fight.

If you don't believe my story's true, ask the blind man, he saw it to.
On Topic: The only think I have noticed bad with Snow Leopard is a 50-ish% increase in spinning beach balls which is weird. And my system has just completely crashed once. Still completely usable and I hope the next update makes Safari *snappier*

One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced one another
Drew their swords and shot each other
Two deaf policemen heard the noise
And came to rescue the two dead boys
And if you don't believe this lie is true
Ask the blind man, he saw it too!
That's how I know it.
Yay! A dot 3 release!
So now the product is finally what it should have been when it originally shipped. Bravo Apple, bravo I say.

They could have taken 6 years, like some others do.
Mac users have it easy.
