Easy
Breezy setup. Snappier overall performance with smarter multitasking abilities. Grand Central Dispatch prepares us for superpowerful computers with multicore processors and tons of RAM (aka the World of Tomorrow). Nearly cheaper than a case of PBR.
Interface enhancements like Expose in the Dock and better file and folder viewing in Stacks make finding apps and files much easier. A completely overhauled QuickTime X now sports a cleaner interface and recording tools. The much-anticipated Exchange s...

Incompatibility with applications and plugins
QuickTime changes not all positive
No upgrade path for legacy users

Not all applications will be Grand Central Dispatch aware
Some as yet unknown applications may have problems running in a 64bit OS.
Only works on Intel-based Macs
Incompatible with some older applications
No third-party apps yet take advantage of GCD or OpenCL
Some compatibility issues on launch.
A few minor interface glitches. Lacks the range of applications and compatible hardware available for Windows.
Doesnt add many new features
Launch times are nearly the same for some applications
Many apps
Even Apples iMovie and iPhoto
Are not yet written in 64bit. Annoying homogeneity to the "view all windows" view in Exposé. Quirky multitouch gesture behavior for MacBooks will make you feel like a chimpanzee trying to figure out calculus.
Snow Leopard works with Intel Macs only
PowerPC users are out of luck
Requires $29 upgrade fee.
Most of the good gubbins are invisible. Where's the new swooshy stuff?
Lackluster QuickTime Player update
Many features won’t truly be exploited until Mac hardware evolves.

Abstract: Så är den då äntligen installerad, Snow Leopard. Nyheterna känner väl de flesta till men vi kan väl dra dem lite i korthet igen för sakens skull. Hela operativsystemet är nu omskrivet så det drar nytta av 64-bitarsprocessorer. Detta gör operativsyste...
Abstract: OS X Snow Leopard. Se bildspel När Apple presenterade Snow Leopard på WWDC-konferensen i juni i år var det många som blev besvikna. Förhoppningarna var stora att Apple skulle skapa något helt nytt likt de gjorde vid lanseringen av Tiger. Snow Leopard...
Abstract: Snow Leopard handler ikke om at introducere et væld af smarte, nye funktioner eller give Mac OS X en kæmpe overhaling på brugerinterfacet. I stedet har Apples programmører sat sig ned og gået maskinkoden igennem med en tættekam og optimeret, forbedret...
