Crippling fonts problems
Let's hope that Apple have put their spat with Adobe to one side and have sorted out the font problems that are crippling the graphic design and print industries.

Im using the x3100 kexts from 10.6.2 beta on my 10.6.1 and indeed they are 64bit and seem to work fine.
Seed notes here..
- ColorSync: Fixed issues with window colors when certain ICC monitor profiles were used
This looks promising and I hope it addresses that purple/violet tint on my external Dell. Currently a showstopper for me and I have to switch to Leopard when color correcting photos.
Nobody has commented that cameras are no longer recognized. This is a huge bug for those of us who try to manage pictures on the mac (my main reason for having it)..... I have to boot into windows just to get my damn pictures off. I went to Snow Leopard early to fix the fact that bluetooth randomly stops working at reboot, and it replaces that for not being able to get pics off my camera.. Grr. They are getting really sloppy on the QA.
OS X Blue Screen of Death
I hope this update fixes the WindowServer issue. I get a BSOD at least 3 times a day! Apparently, Excel Office 2004 is lethal. It's a known Rosetta problem dating back even before SL and Apple should address it.

Not until Microsoft starts licensing NTFS read/write to other manufactures. At this point, they do not! Plus if you think Linux does then NTFS you are correct, it is a hack.
Now Google is getting into the act with MacFuse. But in Snow Leopard right know it only works in 32-Bit mode. Google hasn't updated it for Snow Leopard yet.
Hope they fix AirPort. Ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard, when I go to my sister's house I CANNOT connect to their wireless router. When I get back home it recognizes my wireless network just fine. Both networks are N.
it's almost as if it doesn't want to connect to any wireless network unless it's my own.
Brother-in-law has the same exact problem. He can connect fine at home but when he brings it to work he can't connect there, and he had no problems prior to Snow Leopard.
Just by the sheer magnitude of the seed update file size, I would say they have ALOT of issues to fix.
It is a known fact that if one goes to System Preferences->Network and create a new custom "Location" (at the top of the Network pane). Then at the bottom of the pane hit "Apply". Make a custom Location for each place you go to (i.e. 'Home', "Brother's place', "Work', etc).
Just take the Network "Location" off from "Automatic", IMHO the "Automatic" "Location" is broken but creating another "Location" fixes a lot of wireless problems.
Any word on whether video iChat is working on this? Am I the only one with the problem--I can never get audio to work on both sides from many diff snow leopard computers--worked perfectly fine in leopard
Windows 7 Means MS is BACK!!!
Here is an excerpt from a user who downloaded W7 on ELEVEN computers!!!
<http://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/107925/a-windows-to-help-you-forget?mod=career-worklife_balance>
"In recent years, I, like many other reviewers, have argued that Apple's Mac OS X operating system is much better than Windows. That's no longer true. Windows 7 beats the Mac OS in some areas, such as better previews and navigation right from the taskbar, easier organization of open windows on the desktop and touch-screen capabilities. So Apple will have to scramble now that the gift of a flawed Vista has been replaced with a reliable, elegant version of Windows."
Seems like NOW there really is a CHOICE again.
And since SL is buggy and unstable, the MS Behemoth is ready to take back lost market share....
Aiden Shaw....help me out here!!!

I had some font issues after updating to Snow Leopard and eventually cured them all by running Apple's Font Book application and removing all fonts it reported to be either bad, dubious or duplicates. I had to reinstall a few I need but once done they were fine. Hopes this helps

Careful with your selective quoting.
In recent years, I, like many other reviewers, have argued that Apple's Mac OS X operating system is much better than Windows. That's no longer true. I still give the Mac OS a slight edge because it has a much easier and cheaper upgrade path; more built-in software programs; and far less vulnerability to viruses and other malicious software, which are overwhelmingly built to run on Windows.
Now, however, it's much more of a toss-up between the two rivals. Windows 7 beats the Mac OS in some areas, such as better previews and navigation right from the taskbar, easier organization of open windows on the desktop and touch-screen capabilities. So Apple will have to scramble now that the gift of a flawed Vista has been replaced with a reliable, elegant version of Windows.
In any case, Uncle Walt thought Vista was MS' best OS ever as well. The reality will soon become apparent once Joe Average starts using it, and we see what happens over the first 6 months. Vista testers praised Vista to the skies as well, and the reality ended up being a complete 180. It all comes out in the wash. When it comes to MS, believe nothing until you've had a good long time to see things in action.
Where's the 3 GHz that we were supposed to have years ago???
The Mac is not an iPhone so we will have to wait a few years or do it ourself with Linux. Apple keeps putting more money into the Mac, but as the last OS release shows it is only a half effort at most. It sounded good that OS 10.6 was just to be a speed & workability update. But so far it looses out in both of these areas. I've stopped using 10.6 even in its test mode until it works at least as good as 10.5.8 does. OS 10.6 also ends most of the support for the PPC platform that Apple told us was so great until about 3 years ago. My Intel Mac Pro was delivered on 9-12-06. Since that time it only has been updated 2 times. Unless Apple changes their way it will be 6 months or more before it is updated. Part of this change to Intel was supposed to be faster clock speed computers released on a shorter interval. IBM was given a bad time because they could not get to the 3 GHz speed level. The current Intel Mac Pro still is not to that level. They wre with my 3 GHz model & the next update 15+ months later to 3.2 GHz. But now they have a ways to go. So the idea of 3 GHz in a year still has not come true.
The iPhone will probably make 3 GHz first.

I think you're rehashing the old "mhz myth"... With that logic, a Pentium 4 at 3Ghz must be just as fast as a core in a 3Ghz Nehalem, right?
What Apple was referring to with IBM was getting the more or less same G5 that ran at 2.5 Ghz to run at 3 Ghz... Not getting a completely different chip architecture that gets much higher performance even at a lower or same clock speed...
