OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard' Seeded to WWDC Developers

I've got the WWDC build, and, well, it kind of sucks. It freezes quite a bit more than Leopard and several apps are not fully compatible (including iStat Menus, which is crucial for me). Quicktime X is pretty much the only big improvement I'm feeling in this build over 10.5.7. Anyone know if there's a way to roll back to Leopard?

Uhh, no way to roll back to Leopard. This is why you shouldn't be using it as your "main" operating system. It's not final release, so everything won't run 100% as it should.

You should always use a backup drive or partition to run beta or developer software, since they're not "finished" yet.

Posting here doesn't help. Write an error report and check it into Radar. If you don't know what Radar is, then what the f*** are you doing with the WWDC build?

I hope nobody spends their time hacking snow leopard to work for PPC, find a cure for a disease or something else worth your time.

Yeah and why don't Apple stop making computers and go into healthcare? Should all our efforts go towards extending human life? Why bother with any other courses at University, lets all just be doctors.

1. Is PPC dropped yet?
3. What is the difference in battery life between a laptop playing a movie in Quicktime on Leopard and a laptop playing a movie in Quicktime X on Snow Leopard?
5. Will Apple add in any sort of package manager or app manager at all? If not, then will they at least provide a way for developers to plug-in to Software Update?
6. Will X11 finally not suck?
10. Will Apple open source their Java implementation?
12. Will they redesign the Firewall security pane to include more features from ipfw?
14. Will the file manager finally have write FTP support?
17. Will the Cocoa Touch APIs be partially or wholly merged into Mac OS X?
18. Will they finally add Attributes to the Finder?
20. Will the Help System be overhauled and that evil floating window destroyed?

If these aren't fixed, I will break down and cry/die.

Schools (and server farms) install an image of the OS and apps on dozens of computers over the network and license them accordingly. If we understand the implications of Snow Leopard correctly, not only will an OS instance be able to address N-processors and N-tasks, but a processor or cluster could have N-instances of OSX running.

I get that Apple wants to sell/rent movies and supporting divx/xvid doesn't align with that goal but reality is there's a ton of content requiring 3rd party software to watch. Adding divx/xvid to QT would likely increase marketshare significantly.
