July 29, 200917 yr comment_260641 Mmm I think so because the MS Office on my mac doesn't have it (2008 )? And my PC does (2007)? I've looked for it on Word many times and never found it. Report

August 27, 200917 yr Author comment_270532 Good news, everybody! Not only does Snow Leopard not require the entry of any serial numbers, but the standard version of Snow Leopard is a bootable Report
August 27, 200917 yr comment_270549 I'd been hearing that too. Plan to try it out the full install option on the MBP with a new Segate 500GB 7200RPM laptop drive. Oh, and supposedly you hold down "6" and "4" on boot to install the 64-bit version. I hear it doesn't boot on all supposedly 64-bit capable Macs, but I plan to give it a try to see. Report
August 27, 200917 yr comment_270588 Any chance copies of the snow leopard will be in store Friday? I cancelled my Amazon preorder due to it's arrival in mid-September (according to my status email), and I'm itchin' for some grand central. Report

Very little new functionality to the user, just a faster, more efficient experience. The big deal to my eyes is the new "Grand Central", which is the new method of dividing tasks between processor cores, trying to fully utilize them. Early reviews show a speed increase in almost every task, with significant (100%+) increases for very processor-heavy tasks. Report

August 27, 200917 yr comment_270707 This is probably only relevant for myself but ONLY Adobe CS4 apps are approved to work with Snow Leopard. Probably doesnt mean that older versions won't work but its still a factor Report

Probably doesnt mean that older versions won't work but its still a factor Interesting. I'll be testing CS2 on it tomorrow after I get it running. Some of my plugins don't cooperate with 4, so I keep 2 around (and in general prefer it for my limited applications). Report
August 27, 200917 yr comment_270856 Just got a Macrumors post.. seems CS3 pretty much does work, but Adobe hasn't tested it rigorously enough to declare it 'supported'. Report
