Just Installed Snow Leopard Mac OSX 10.6!
Ok, I just installed Snow Leopard which took about 75 minutes. So far I noticed that I went from 214GB of free space to 237GB which is amazing. Also, it runs a lot faster and there definitely so visual enhancements here and there. I’ve used VLC, Microsoft Office 2008, Toast, and Adium which all run fine.
My only issue is that I’m still trying to figure out how to set up Exchange in Mail. In Entourage and in Outlook, I just put in the OWA server address and don’t need to put in the incoming and outgoing mail servers. In Mail, it asks for this and I’ve tried putting in different address and leaving it blank and it wouldn’t work. Any advice?
Also, I’ve installed the new Bootcamp drivers for Windows XP and there are two big things that I’ve seen so far when running it. The first thing is that ‘right clicking’ works! I put two fingers on the trackpad and press down and it right clicks just like it does in Mac OSX. This feature might have already been in Leopard though because I didn’t think about trying that till now. Now the second biggest improvement that I’ve noticed is that Windows runs MUCH cooler than it did on Leopard. I’ve used Windows XP with the new Snow Leopard Boot Camp drivers and it doesn’t heat up as badly as Leopard did.
So far, this is definitely worth the $29 upgrade!
