Snow is Coming on August 28th

It still seems like summer but Snow will be here in August. Along with it, there’ll be many snow leopards.

Apple announced the release of Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard for August 28 2009. Mac OS X Snow Leopard is an even more powerful and refined version of the world’s most advanced operating system. In ways big and small, it gets faster, more reliable, and easier to use. New core technologies unleash the power of today’s advanced hardware technology and prepare Mac OS X for future innovation. And Snow Leopard includes built-in support for the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server, so you can use your Mac at home and at work.

Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard includes hundreds of improvements that will help make your Mac faster, more responsive, and more reliable than ever. Installation is up to 50 percent faster than with Mac OS X Leopard; wake from sleep is as much as two times faster; shutdown is up to 80 percent faster; and initial Time Machine backups to Time Capsule are up to 80 percent faster than in Leopard.

New core technologies in Snow Leopard unleash the power of today’s advanced hardware and prepare Mac OS X for future innovation. The next-generation media technology, QuickTime X powers the audio and video experience in Snow Leopard. It debuts a completely new QuickTime Player application with a clean, uncluttered interface as well as an easy way to record, trim, and share your media. Every Mac comes standard with a wide range of assistive–or Universal Access–technologies that help people with disabilities experience what the Mac has to offer. Snow Leopard continues this support with a variety of innovative features that advance accessibility even further.

Snow Leopard includes out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 in Mail, iCal, and Address Book, so it’s easier than ever to take your Mac to work. The latest version of the blazing-fast web browser, Safari 4, delivers up to 50 percent faster JavaScript performance and is more resistant to crashes than ever.

If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X Server v10.4 or v10.5, just purchase Mac OS X Server v10.6, read the Upgrade Guide, and follow the simple instructions.

Snow is here. Now you can lounge on the patio with your MacBook and appreciate that you chose Macintosh over the others.
