From Apple:
Snow Leopard builds on a decade of OS X innovation and success with hundreds of refinements, new core technologies and out of the box support for Microsoft Exchange. To create Snow Leopard, Apple engineers refined 90 percent of the more than 1,000 projects that make up Mac OS X. Users will notice refinements including a more responsive Finder; Mail that loads messages up to twice as fast;* Time Machine with an up to 80 percent faster initial backup;* a Dock with Expos integration; QuickTime X with a redesigned player that allows users to easily view, record, trim and share video; and a 64-bit version of Safari 4 that is up to 50 percent** faster and resistant to crashes caused by plug-ins. Snow Leopard is half the size of the previous version and frees up to 7GB of drive space once installed. For the first time, system applications including Finder, Mail, iCal, iChat and Safari are 64-bit and Snow Leopards support for 64-bit processors makes use of large amounts of RAM, increases performance and improves security while remaining compatible with 32-bit applications. Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) provides a revolutionary new way for software developers to write applications that take advantage of multicore processors. OpenCL, a C-based open standard, allows developers to tap the incredible power of the graphics processing unit for tasks that go beyond graphics.
What's new in this version: The 10.6.1 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Snow Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac, including fixes for:
- compatibility with some Sierra Wireless 3G modems
- an issue that might cause DVD playback to stop unexpectedly
- some printer compatibility drivers not appearing properly in the add printer browser
- an issue that might make it difficult to remove... See all new features

"BROKE MY COMPUTER!"
Version: Apple Mac OS X 10.6.8
Pros
ABSOLUTELY NONE!
Cons
I downloaded everything, it was going great, and then it restarted my computer automatically (as it was supposed to) and when it turned back on both my keyboard and trackpad are unresponsive. It is not a hardware problem, it is something internal that I cannot fix! I am so MAD because I had this computer for two days as a gift and now I have to tell them that I broke it.
Summary
I cannot even describe how mad I am right now! Your stupid fake software did something to my computer and it is unfixable! I am never downloading anything from this site ever again and I suggest that no one else does either!

"Easy to use, Love Notification Center"
Version: Apple Mac OS X 10.6.8
Pros
It is a minimal update from the last OS but I recommend getting it to stay up to date as well as to take advantage of some of its great new features. It is very easy to instal
Cons
I don't like how it does not come with updated versions of iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand.

"This is NOT Snow Leopard - it's just an update!"
Version: Apple Mac OS X 10.6.8
Pros
It is probably just dandy if you already have Snow Leopard installed.
Cons
This was a waste of time.
Summary
This was a total waste of time. In giant letters it says, "Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard for Mac." However, this is actually the upgrade for people who already have Snow Leopard.

"Great but slower than 10.7.3"
Version: Apple Mac OS X 10.6.8
Pros
I just upgraded to lion a week ago and I found it faster and Snow Leopard was also quite fast compared to the rest of the rest of the OS's.
Cons
It is surely really quick in booting up and Lion the boot-up wasn't that fast as compared to Snow Leopard
Summary
Overall, it was great and I feel all the people in Leopard I suggest that you upgrade quickly.

"It is worth upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8"
Version: Apple Mac OS X 10.6.8
Pros
Everything just runs better and smoother that ii did before the upgrade. I was worried it would take a long time to upgrade, but it took less than an hour. I was also worried about the upgrade messing with my printer drivers, applications I already had etc., but there was no problem.
Cons
I did notice I had trouble getting garage band to load, it kept saying it could not find a file in the sound library, but after I restarted the computer a couple of times, it has now started to work, who knows, I'm not very good with knowing how computers work, so I can't tell you why this happened, but it did.

"10.6.8 won't boot with iHome media Keyboard"
Version: Apple Mac OS X 10.6.8
Pros
It's an OSX upgrade
Cons
Won't boot with iHome USB keyboard
Summary
You cannot use the iHome iConnect media Keyboard - if you try, you'll get a darwiln Kernel Panic and a restart message. Once you unplug the Keyboard from the USB port, all is well. I've heard a rumour that iHome is working on a new driver.... we'll see.
