28th Aug has been announced as the launch date for the most awaited operating system straight out of the Apple Valley, the Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Amazon has already started taking orders for this much awaited operating systems.
Of the features which makes its an absolute delight for any user are the simplicity & speed. To elaborate on a few features: all key systems on the operating systems have been upgraded to 64 bit. It is ready to support about 16 terabytes of Ram which is almost 500 times more than what the other Mac operating systems have to offer. Also an astonishing new feature called the OpenCL has been incorporated to make it available for general purpose computing. It also calls for the debut of the Quick Time X which is a brand new version of the quick time player. Well it surely does have a lot more to offer. It also provides application support for multi processors and a smaller footprint which means that you get an iota of extra space on your hard drive with up to 6GB saved. What more could anyone probably ask for?? But this is just the beginning of a long list of brilliant features. It would be best to dedicate at least an entire weekend to get acquainted to all the features. (I bet even that would be less).
Also a music related press event has been lined up by Apple on 7th sept. Rebates on the Apple iPod are being expected.
The pricing is worth all the money you are going to put into it. At the moment only the US pricing has been confirmed, which is $29 for the upgrade and $129 for the full package.
