I installed Snow Leopard on my unibody MacBook Pro and it went flawlessly.

Popped in the disc, clicked install, 45 minutes and a couple reboots later I was back in action! I don't think it could be any easier to upgrade an OS. Thinking back to the Windows days I would cringe as I would always hope for the worst.

So far, the system is a lot speedier when loading applications and I got back about 10GB of HD space.

Anyone else upgrade to Snow Leopard yet?

I hear if you're running Tiger, you can buy the $34 Snow Leopard upgrade and it will work as a complete install! Now that's a deal!

I installed it myself also. Like some of the new menu changes for dock and stacks. I noticed much smoother speed also. I have been running it since the GM was released and must say it is a good upgrade for the price.

Totally agree. SL has my system loading apps quicker and gotta love some of the HD space I got back. :)

Downloaded a fairly "final" beta a few weeks ago. Installed nice and easy, and have had considerable ease of use, speed improvements and other nice little perks. I found also that it is quite a bit smaller, which is a bonus. I'm almost convinced I should buy a retail version just to show my appreciation. And then I remember I'm a student with limited funds, even for 23$... ohwell!

The snow leopard (Uncia uncia or Panthera uncia), sometimes known as ounce, is a moderately large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia. The classification of this species has been subject to change and its exact taxonomic position will not be resolved until further studies are conducted.
Snow leopards live between 3,000 and 5,500 metres (9,800 and 18,000 ft) above sea level in the rocky mountain ranges of Central Asia. However, their secretive nature means that their exact numbers are not known, although it has been estimated that between 3,500 and 7,000 snow leopards exist in the wild and between 600 and 700 in zoos worldwide.
