Apple released Snow Leopard, the next version of the operating system, a little earlier than they’d originally planned. A good summary of its features is in the NY Times this morning. It’s faster, smaller in terms of disk space it needs, and offers some, but not tons, of new features. It only runs on Intel chips.
At Lab, we always wait for the first couple of updates and bug fixes to come out before installing a new OS version. We are already licensed for it under the terms of an Apple Maintenance Agreement we bought when Leopard came out. We’ll start testing and evaluation and then likely begin upgrading after the fall quarter.
