Snow Leopard (os X 10.6)

[Jeff_T]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has upgraded to Snow Leopard or has some advice for me about upgrading. I'm still running Tiger (10.4.11) and didn't know if I need to go to Leopard then to SL or if I can go straight to SL. Also my gf's mac has Leopard, so do you know if we could get a bundle that would work for her upgrade and mine as well? Anything I need to know before doing an OS upgrade, this will be my first one since the PC-->Mac transition. Will I have to reinstall things like Office and re-download programs, etc?

Looks like the standard snow leopard disks will upgrade from tiger as well.

Just snag up a family pack and save yourself $10 over getting two individual copies. I just installed it tonight so I can't comment much on anything about it, but from what I've heard from the people I know who have upgrade earlier it's pretty nice. For the most part it's just background updates for speed and the like. Oh and it did free up about 8GB of hard drive space which was also nice. They make it look like more because they went from referring to size in base 2 to now referring to it in base 10 (where a gigabyte is 1000 megabytes vs the true number of 1024, makes it look like you have more space, and thus more open space).

For the $10-$30 upgrade it costs depending on what copy and how many keys are used etc it's worth the upgrade.

As for how to upgrade, it doesn't hurt to backup your important data just in case, but then it's just a pop in the disk and hit install and it will just update your os. No need to do a complete new install if you don't want to.
