Take Control Books Coming Soon - As much as Apple’s early release increased the pressure on us a bit, we’re on track to release both Joe Kissell’s “Take Control of Upgrading to Snow Leopard” and Matt Neuburg’s “Take Control of Exploring & Customizing Snow Leopard” by the time Apple makes Snow Leopard available to the public. Snow Leopard Server requires an Intel-based Mac with at least 2 GB of RAM and 10 GB of available disk space, and some of its features also have higher technical requirements.

We presume they will, since otherwise they wouldn’t be able to install on a completely bare hard disk either.įor those who have purchased a Mac with Leopard since 08-Jun-09, the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Up-to-Date package provides an update to Snow Leopard for only $9.95. Until we’ve had a chance to test, we won’t know for sure if the Snow Leopard upgrade discs will install over Tiger.

Apple claims to have refined 90 percent of the more than 1,000 projects that make up Mac OS X, improving such key portions of the operating system as the Finder, Mail, Time Machine, the Dock, QuickTime, and Safari. Normally, it’s pretty good money to bet on the latter end of a promised ship date range.įor those who have been on walkabout in the outback for the last 18 months, Snow Leopard is the next major release of Mac OS X, but one that is focused largely on enhancing performance and stability, and on improving the foundation upon which future applications will be built.
