Just saw, what looks like the final retail packaging for Snow Leopard, the latest upgrade to the Mac OS X platform. I’m excited and I don’t even know why. To be honest, I’m perfectly happy with Leopard OS X but Snow Leopard is supposed to be faster, easier to use and have better security. I’m all for those things and can’t beat the price of this upgrade, $29. That’s a bargain compared to what Microsoft is going to be charging their users for the Microsoft 7 upgrade.

The release date for the Snow Leopard has been sketchy. Some sources claim that it’ll be released as soon as this week, while many other say it’ll be available sometime after September. If Apple has the software ready to go, thwy should start shipping. They’ll get more exposure with an early release of Snow Leopard. (hit the break for pics)
