To be fair, Apple did tell us that Snow Leopard was going to be more of a performance upgrade, with few features.

You can't argue with the price, for the upgrade or the Mac Pack.

Although I did have some bumps along the installation road, I still think Snow Leopard is good, and will be even better once a few patches are released.

a G5 2.3 Dual Processor with 1TB drive and 4.5 GiB of RAM is simply outdated and should be replaced.

It is.

What year is this? 2005?

Dual Nehalem XEON (Total of 8 Cores / 16 Threads per system) @ 2.93Ghz
12GB of Ram
Multiple TB hard drives and or SSD Drives.

Now this is up to date. Not some out of date G5 that is less efficent, uses more power, has much greater memory latency... Whip out the technical specs and see for yourself.

Sure the G5 isnt out of date if you just want to surf the internet and fire up MS word. But come on, we all know how technology works.

the G5 is outdated. Computers arent cars people, they do not get better with age.
 
I know if I was still using a PowerPC as my main system snow leopard would really piss me off, not becuase the os drops support for my machine, but because no one is going to make universal apps anymore, mark my words, iLife 2010 will be intel only.
 
sounds like you were in a closet while this release was being developed. this was a maintenance / performance release with very few cosmetic changes. so what did you expect exactly? i am happy with the release and have noticed a speed increase in general. i did not have any reliability issues prior, so i can't compare on that. good job Apple!!!
 
I still dont see why people are disapointed by this Apple said since the announced Snow leopard that this is just a Minor OS upgrade mainly under the hood type stuff yet people to me are expecting this to be a upgrade like from Tiger to Leopard?
