More Snow Leopard Installation Guide

Mac OS X version 10.6 “Snow Leopard” is the seventh major release of Mac OS X, Apple’s desktop and server operating system.

This version of Mac OS X focuses on improving performance, efficiency and reducing its overall memory footprint compared to its predecessor Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard”, rather than new end-user features.

This is also the first Mac OS release since the introduction of System 7.1.2 that does not support the PowerPC architecture, as Apple now intends to focus on its current line of Intel-based products.

Snow Leopard shipped on August 28, 2009.[3] It was sold for Intel-based Macintosh computers running Leopard at US$29 (£25/€29/￥3300) for the single-user license, or US$49 (£39/€49/￥5600) for up to five computers with the family pack.

For a qualifying computer bought after June 8, 2009, the upgrade is priced at US$9.95 (£7.95/€8,95/￥980) (with proof of purchase).

This upgrade method is only officially supported for users of Mac OS X v10.5 “Leopard”, although the company now concedes that this will also work for Mac OS X v10.4 “Tiger” users.

The officially supported upgrade path for Tiger users is the Mac Box Set, a single package which includes Snow Leopard as well as iLife ’09 and iWork ’09.
