Well, hallelujah...we finally get HFS+ drivers for Winders...but what about NTSF write capability built into the Mac OS? I do have the software (open source) to do it mice-elf, but it would be nice if it was already included in the OS.

I guess we can't expect a whole lot of new features, given that this iteration of the OS is more about optimizing for Intel machines, but we can still hope for a few basic crumbs. wink.gif

It will be interesting indeed to see how much faster things go with Snow Leopard - our family can be it's own little test pod, now that we have representatives from all the major Mac food groups; Mac Pro, iMac, MacBook Pro and less than week old MacBook for son #1 (he opted not to wait until the fall of 2010 when he's off to university).

<Series of video's> purport to be of Snow Leopard. dntknw.gif A couple are interesting changes. The QuickTime one doesn't indicate if it's Pro or not, but the "About..." dialog does not say "Pro" in it. That may be normal, only ever paid for that upgrade once, long ago... Some of the others don't impress me. Searching in Finder still seems crippled. And who cares about the "Welcome" screen?! wallbash.gif
