Owners of Intel Macs should consider Snow Leopard a must-have because it's optimized for their hardware to an extreme that Apple could not approach before. The price - $29 for a single machine license, $49 for a pack of five - brings overdue sanity to runaway client OS pricing. If the question on your mind is whether to buy Snow Leopard, Apple has made it a no-brainer. Apple generally brags of hundreds of new features folded into each release, and post-upgrade exploration is an enjoyable exercise that marks cultural and design differences between the Mac and the PC. That is, for Mac users, a new Mac OS X release is always like getting a new computer.
New releases of Apple's Mac OS X operating system are highly anticipated because each one upgrades the Mac platform in the best way.
