I have been a Mac user since 1984, and have trouble finding fault with the company or its products.The iMac, combined with a few pieces of software (e.g., Mellel, the world's greatest word processor) make it an unparalleled business tool.
I had no problems with Leopard but was understandably curious about what improvements Snow Leopard might bring.
When I learned of the early release of Snow Leopard (on August 28, 2009), I decided that would be "Snow Leopard" Day!
The installation was painless-put in the DVD and go, just as it should be. The installation took just under an hour. I had seen reports of problems with restoring Internet access, but I did not have any.
The only moment of concern was with Mail-it did take about 5 minutes to rebuild the mail database, but there's a lot of mail to go through!
I have used it for about 12 hours, and have noticed increased speed, especially with opening documents.
The new features in Preview are nice, and it is now the way to go for viewing documents.
I still like Firefox, but it is obvious that Safari will win any speed test, so I may be using it for intensive browsing.
The upgrade is well worth the $29.99, and confirms the iMac as the leading business productivity tool!
