We're certainly not done yet with Snow Leopard on OSNews! The operating system will be officially released tomorrow, but that hasn't stopped various news outlets from cranking out reviews of Apple's latest big cat. As usual, the reviews are fairly consistent: this latest release is the best yet. In addition, very welcome news for Tiger users: the Snow Leopard "upgrade" disk can upgrade Tiger installations too, and performs no checks to see if Leopard is installed.

You otoh activated caps lock (internet equivalent of shouting) telling me how wrong I am.
Oh come on, Markus. Caps were only used to emphasize a couple of significant words. The equivalent of bolding them or enclosing them in asterisks. That is hardly shouting. On the balance, Thom's comment didn't come off as half as whiny as your post which I am replying to.

Not really. The Ars article linked to doesn't really say explicitly that its a full retail copy that doesn't depend on an existing OS. There were other articles that were released after that that sated the $29 version was only for current Leopard users.
I was researching this a couple days ago, as I just installed a new 320 gb hd in my macbook, and came away pretty confused.

I June I already quoted ArsTechnica that the "upgrade" disk is actually a retail disk for only 29 bucks: http://www.osnews.com/thread?367416

See, this is the difference between actual journalism at ArsTechnica and a blogger like you. Real jounalists knew this months ago.
