Of all the announcements today, I am most excited about Snow Leopard. It looks to be a major upgrade, and can you believe the price?
Got a tip for us?

Yes i am excited too, and yes the price Oh man that price 29 dollars US. WOW, the features impressive stuff can't wait until september.
I'm REALLY excited about this too but not so excited that my workhorse, a G5 Quad, is now not an option for OSX upgrades. GRRRRR, I guess it's time for a hardware upgrade.
$29 for software
$4000 for a Mac Pro (for what I want

I found that quite irritating as well. Let's see- PowerMac G4 Sawtooth- ran everything from OS9 to Tiger for me- 5 OS upgrades. Had it for almost 7 years. Three year old dual core PowerMac G5, one OS upgrade. ONE. Sad.
I know the feeling. My G5 at work and my Powerbook 17" at home are now officially stuck on one OS. The only machine I have that can benefit from SL is my Mini. I never actually upgraded my Powerbook beyond Tiger, so I actually don't see myself upgrading the Mini, either.

What about Espresso Malfoy? That's my code of choice!
I'm also very excited about Snow Leopard. Enough of all this iPhone news, eh?

just wanted to clear this, so leopard is 32/64 but SL is just 64bit? There fore not supported on PPC?
In addition, SL is optimized for Multi-cored processors. Most PPC macs (besides some PowerMacs) have a single core. So you wouldn't really benefit much from Snow Leopard anyway. The only thing PPC Macs would get is 6 GB more space on its HDD.
Yes I'm Canadian. How'd you know?
Thanks for testing Espresso for me. I'm really glad it works
