Snow Leopard

One of the biggest surprises out of WWDC yesterday was the new pricing for Snow Leopard; in their own words…

How should we price Snow Leopard? We won’t price it at $129, because we want all Leopard users to upgrade. So we are pricing Snow Leopard at the incredible price of $29.

Considering the work that has gone into the new OS, and the heady list of enhancements and tweaks, the deal isn’t all that bad at all. Admittedly, it’s still $129 for Tiger users, and will only run on Intel, not PowerPC systems, but it’s one hell of a deal for what essentially is the cost of a few coffees and cinnamon swirls at your local Starbucks. Add to that the excellent pricing on Snow Leopard Server (Unlimited Clients for $499, down from $999) and you get a sense of this isn’t just another update: this is a hard push on getting everyone to the best place the Mac OS has been since the late System 6 days.

In a rare and unusual move, Apple has let slip an as yet un-announced, and highly anticipated product. Grab the PDF here while it’s still up, and scan down to the bottom of page 209.

Personally, I can’t wait for the new item to show up in stores. It’s going to be the hottest item of the Holiday season.
