Thoughts on Snow Leopard
Apple gave more details on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on Monday. A few thoughts:
As a software developer, I actually appreciate the idea of an incremental release. They didn't try to reinvent everything; they simple made a bunch of enhancements to what they had. The new window manager (Marble) can wait until 10.7; I'm okay with that.
...so long as they price it as an incremental release. Oh look...they did. I'm more than willing to shell out $29 to upgrade my operating system. Besides, it gives me a way to laugh at the Windows folks. Yes, Ubuntu junkies, I know your OS is free, and I use it for other things (like the server powering this site), but OS X has a bit more refinement to it and is worth the piddly sum. :) On the other hand, I think most folks can do without a ~$300 sticker shock for a Windows upgrade.

Only $29 for the upgrade...nice. Sept will be here soon enough.
And as a software tester, I too appreciate the idea of incremental releases.

Oh look...Luke's blogging again. And seconded (even though I'm third now). Looks like it's going to be a good release overall and the improvements are worth the cost to me.
