  We’ll have Snow Leopard tomorrow for sure, but if you’re still not sure of purchasing the upgrade due to the programs you use then you will want to check out the new compatibility list.  Someone along with a community has posted a wiki page showing the compatibility issues with programs and how they work or don’t work so well with SNow Leopard.  For the most part it looks like compatibility will be a non issue unless you have major workflow going thru the few non-working programs.  You can see the list [Here]

Windows 7 Now Available For Pre-Order With Discounted Pricing

 

  Using mostly Macs in my home I have found it quite nice that the cost to upgrade to a new OS is usually $129 and with the upcoming Snow Leopard we only will have to pay $29.  This is something it appears that Microsoft has been taking notice of and has begun selling pre-orders of Windows 7 for reasonable prices.  You can order Windows 7 Home Premium for $49.99 and Professional for $99.99.  The pricing is significantly cheaper than when it comes to retail and jumps back to more than double the prices I just mentioned.  We think the discounted prices should be the normal pricing and I think Microsoft would be pleasantly surprised and the lack of pirating it brings with it.  You can pre-order now and if you’re interested you will want to get them while supplies last. See the list of retailers [Here]
