Who will be updating to Snow Leopard? Why/why not?

I have absolutely no guilt about using his copy of SL. Apple charges a high premium, I'm sure they can afford it.

Additionally, I'm not sure if it's technically breaking the law. He won't be installing it on his computer and he did technically pay for it. I guess it would be considered a gift... and FYI, he is passing it on because he's buying a new Mac mid-2009, presumably with SL pre-installed.

That violations the contracted agreement that prohibits giving/selling student versions to other people. That is legally enforceable.
 
I'd like to personally thank you, nope7308, for completely abusing Apple's education programs and ruining it for legit students, like myself.
 
Just bought my first mac last year (alu macbook 2.0), but I think I will upgrade to SL just for the fact that it will be more stable. Don't really care for any more quirky features or a different look.

And just who are you to say this? I sure as hell don't care.
Don't infer that we are all like you.

Anyway, I do plan to upgrade to SL, if I have the money.
I skipped Leopard and am getting really tired of Tiger. 🙄
 
I'll be updating for the multi-core enhancements + to make use on my 9400 GPU 🙂

Cocoa Finder will be awesome, as will be the smaller footprint. Waiting for more details on Quicktime X!

Steve said that Snow Leopard would be the first fully 64-bit OS.

The betas we've seen are available for all Intel computers, but have to run some apps in "32-bit mode".

So I'm just assuming that they'll drop Core Duo support along with PowerPC support so as to make the OS be truly 64-bit.

I don't see Apple coming out with a major OS upgrade that leaves 3 year old machines out in the cold.

I'm definitely going to upgrade... I'm salivating at the possibilities SL will bring. I think it has the potential to be an all time high of OS X revs.
 
I'm hoping to buy it newly installed on my newly acquired newly released Mac Pro .... sometime this year I hope...
 
I think the performance of my MacBook 2.4Ghz aluminium is great, but if Snow Leopard will improve it even further - I'm all in 😎
 
I plan to do a clean install of SL on a new 500gb hard drive. This will give me plenty of room for Ubuntu 8.10 (maybe 9.04) as well as Windows 7....
