Awesome! This is just like Windows 7... Tons of minor, but very useful, system-wide improvements.

Could you do me a huge favor and demo the four new fonts, by posting in TextEdit or something? I'm particularly interested in Menlo, the new fixed-width font that sounds like a Monaco replacement.

Off Topic: Anyone else still annoyed by the ugly-as-sin Aqua scroll bars?

@giga : Dude, this is a nice overview of some features of Snow Leopard, thanks man!!!

Do you think the developer preview so far is usable as a main OS, or if it still has a lot of crashes, bugs, strangenesses?

I'm really happy about these minor tweaks, they've touched pretty much everything I wanted. Now, if only Grapher could be more complete and give the results of integrals and equations, a little bit like Maple, I would be happy for university :)

And if they could include a service called "equation" that could write an equation, grapher style, in Pages, Word, RTF if possible, etc. Right now I have to do a copy-paste from Grapher, I think there could be a more appropriate solution. Also, when I did a mistake, I have to type the whole thing again in Grapher and re-copy it. Not too good :-\

I believe they really want to change the Aqua buttons, they seem to be testing new themes. But it may be wrong, because they've tested new themes in iTunes with the scrollbars, Safari with tabs and the loading button, iMovie with the whole interface, Garageband with the whole interface, and a lot of Pro apps...

Menlo VS Monaco debate : the 0 looks different? :p

Did anyone notice how the sliders in Snow Leopard are drawn in a different style than the rest of Aqua:

Traffic lights are also different. 10.6 on the bottom.

It's pretty stable and I haven't encountered many bugs. Usable as a main OS? Probably not--several of my applications don't work with it (crash on startup).

    • Mac does nothing of the sort. You can change the default browser very easily it does not nag you and when you do this, it does not open something still in Safari....like Windows does with Edge.
    • I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.
    • On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
