First glances of Snow Leopard

Folks,

For the last 4 months or so, I have been part of the Appleseed beta program for Snow Leopard, and overall I have to say that Apple has done a good job so far with Snow Leopard.

I just got the general release, and so far, I have run into no issues show stopping issues.  Of note, here’s a few things to follow up on.

  • SwitchResX has a beta out for Snow Leopard.  I can now use (via SwitchResX) 1080P on my Vizio 22 LCD that I use on the computer.
  • MenuMeters claims that they will have a Snow Leopard version available soon…  I miss Menu Meters….
  • Flip4Mac only works with the QuickTime 7 framework currently, not with QuickTime X.
  • So far I have not heard of a Snow Leopard version of the Perian Quicktime plugin…
  • Time Machine is so much faster!  It’s like 10.4’s spotlight versus 10.5’s Spotlight…
