kris33 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I guess all of you know that the WWDC Developers Preview has been leaked. Have anyone tried it and have you noticed any differences? What about speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve22 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The Installer is simpler and quicker. More settings in System Preferences require administrator authorization. Programs start up slower due to 64-bit but run faster once they've started up. We have Exchange support. Xcode is just like the one in the iPhone SDK except for iPhone support. Finder seems to be using ImageKit to display its icons. The wallpaper chooser in System Preferences is much better. It seems to be pretty stable. ~matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSkylla Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I have it running on my MBP. Works fine but I've gotten some random program crashes which is a bit odd. I guess I'll try it on my PC soon, but I doubt it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lessew Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If it's full 64 bit, will it run on an original Intel Core DUO based MBP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djet Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Anyone got it working with gaming or anything graphics related? Not sure if SL would make that faster, just havn't heard anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyos Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Anyone got it working with gaming or anything graphics related? Not sure if SL would make that faster, just havn't heard anything about it. I can confirm that it is much much faster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poorcomboy Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I can confirm that it is much much faster... Not faster for me.... Same as 10.5 on a 2.4ghz new iMac... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demesmaeker Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Not faster for me either (macbook pro 2.2Ghz, 4Gb memory) Azureus won't run so I restored a backup. I installed Snow Leopard by booting from the dvd. Maybe an upgrade wasnt a good idea? Any way.. its nice to test it, but I wont use it until there is a final. If it really is faster I have no problem paying for it too. OS-X is not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caslon Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have been testing on two aluminum iMacs. One is an upgrade the other a clean install. Both have noticeably faster responses in all programs I've tested. The internet browsing is phenomenal. I think we may be pleased to actually get an operating system that is tweaked for current hardware. I'm a fan so far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcage Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I was thrilled with it until I found out that Aperture doesn't work, I guess I'll stick with Leopard for now. I take that back, I had restored to Leopard with Time Machine, and then re-upgraded and Aperture is working now. I don't know if my first install went bad, or if the RAW compatibility update I installed after upgrading to 10.6 broke Aperture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Luca Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Faster than Leopard here on my Macbook Air.So far everything works except java apps (due to the 64-bit JVM) and cider games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonius138 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Might be a silly question, but anyone get it to work on a PC? i would like to install it on an additional partition on my Dell D820 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngonzal Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Yea, no luck with a PC yet. The architecture is quite a bit different with the 64 bit switch. Anyone noticed the size on the most recent build? Less than a gig! Seems pretty stable, Haven't really noticed a huge difference on my macbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Might be a silly question, but anyone get it to work on a PC? i would like to install it on an additional partition on my Dell D820 Netkas got it working. Unfortunately you're on your own if you want to run it on a PC, because it is still under NDA. There's lots of hope though, I'm sure someone can get it running with the new boot-132 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormj Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Here's my quick review of Snow Leopard. (MacPro 3GHzx4 4G RAM) Noticeably faster response in applications and load times. Very stable for a release this early. But about the Exchange support... don't get carried away. It isn't MAPI. It uses Exchange web services, and requires Exchange 2007. If you select Exchange 2003, it still uses IMAP. I don't have a 2007 server to test it on, and I won't anytime soon. There are some open source projects out there working on a reverse engineering of MAPI. I would strongly prefer the use of that interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
