MAC OS X – Pre-Order Snow Leopard

Just saw this come in.  I have been using a MacBook Pro 15″ at work and have been enjoying the stability and speed of the OS.  This announcement is exciting and shows the leadership Apple bring especially with this low price.

Snow Leopard is starting pre-orders and it only cost $29. That is a great price for the OS that is half the footprint of previous versions and adds great new features.  It’s the world’s best operating system.
