Apple's new OS, Snow Leopard will be available Friday, August 28th for purchase. This is a good week to buy a Mac because you'll be able to run two different OS's.
Even better, the OS is available to current Leopard 10.5 users for an upgrade price of $29.00 for a single user license and $49.00 for a family pack for five computers. This is a first. Historically, the cost has been $129.00 for a single license and $199.00 for a family pack.
Apple is taking pre-orders now online or you can get it at your local Apple Store or other retailers that sell Macs.
Apple has streamlined this release, adding many new features while cutting the installation size of the OS by 7GB.
