Mac OS X Snow Leopard: Upgrading from Leopard

Generally I avoid OS upgrade but this time I am giving it a try in a production machine.

Upgrading from Mac OS X Leopard to Mac OS X Snow Leopard Developer Preview on my MacBook Pro.

My colleague tested the upgrade on a MacBook Core Duo and it went smoothly.

I’ll see if the upgrade went smoothly on my MacBook Pro Core Duo.

P.S. I ordered another 320GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive for the MacBook Pro. It is still much cheaper than the 500GB 7200RPM notebook hard drive.

Snow Leopard Retail Box

This is not a fake or a mock-up. This is “Snow Leopard” retail box.

This has nothing to do with Apple’s next operating system code-named “Snow Leopard” or anything like that. This has nothing to do with Mac OS X.

Although, you can use “Snow Leopard” to cool off any MacBook/MacBook Pro, or any notebooks/laptops.
