In case you haven't read the light grey print on Apple's website....
Mac OS X Snow Leopard requires an Intel-based Mac.
No whining, no griping, if you haven't upgraded to an Intel Mac, then stay on Leopard and keep working away. When the time is right, you will be able to upgrade to an Intel Mac and Snow Leopard at the same time.
Oh and Snow Leopard is only $29 to upgrade from Leopard so that's pretty cool. No $129 upgrade fee or whatever is has been for the past few OS updates.
thats a strange one eh. doesn't spotted leopard work on non intels? one thing i find cool about macs is that u can see really old ones here in Nepal still working hard, like the candy colored imac bubbles, whatever they were called. old g4 laptops (i think that's what they are) are more prevalent then any air or mbp models, and white MBs are considered state of the art with the general population. Personally, i still have the original 30gb ipod and a shuffle usb stick still working. support for those seems to be still strong. anyway, the 29$ upgrade sounds reasonable, just hope it does not break too many apps, like Protools and Adobe Suites (sic). Cheers,
