Snow Leopard or Slow Leapard*

Apple's latest operating system Snow Leopard totes 64-bit capability, advanced support for people with disabilities (braille software ready to go out of the box/upgrade) an increased utilization of the faster graphic processors when developing.

All this sounds good in theory. I am one of those people who I usually do not upgrade to a new software and/or hardware until it's had an opportunity to be tested or ran for a bit to have all of the bugs worked out. Sometimes I wait up to a year, however that is usually with Windows products. With Mac operating systems however generally 3 to 6 months is what I feel comfortable with.

The glitches I've heard about with the Snow Leopards upgrade so far is the fact that it runs very very slow when you're trying to use the mail program and a few other applications. I'm sure updates and patches will be available for these slow run times and matter of weeks if not days. I look forward to upgrading to Snow Leopard within a couple months.
