I'm happy I installed snowleopard so far.
Love esther

That's good to hear, I hope to have some more tests done over the extended holiday weekend. Also, I have written several detailed posts in the link referenced above and cleared up some misconceptions a few people had.

One thing too is there is a REAL good review over at Ars Technica and also an article explaining the 64 and 32 bit confusion at TechMPH.com you may want to read.

The Macbreak Weekly podcast pointed out the same thing I did and some of the other tech articles picked up on too regarding possible conflicts with legacy Power PC code running on Snow Leopard. Since Vue is a "Universal Binary" that applies for it too. Some have found issues, others have not. It will be interesting to see how e-on addresses this as most like the podcast above say it's best to remove all support for Power PC code and move forward as that is what needs to be done since Snow Leopard is for Intel based Macs only now. I am REALLY hoping this is a wake up call for e-on to at least begin SERIOUS work on a full re-write in 64 bit Cocoa as Apple has been saying to do for years now.
