Better, faster, easier : Mac OS X Snow Leopard

It's not in September as previously announced, but maybe a little better. The devs at Apple have pulled through for an early launch of their latest creation, Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6).

With the worldwide downtime of the Apple Store this morning Apple added a pre-order page for 10.6 with the delivery date set for August 28th. The single user pack is available for $29 while the family pack (5-users) is priced at $49.

Said to be the next great step in enhancing your Mac experience, this next version of OS X comes with the latest version of Safari 4, out-of-the-box Exchange support and Apple's next generation media player, Quick Time X. Among the next generation technologies Apple has included 64-bit support, Grand Central Dispatch and the technology to "unleash the power of graphics processors", OpenCL.

Included in the box for this release includes the normal installation DVD (you would hope so eh) and documentation. In your box Apple is requiring 1GB of RAM and 5GB of free disk space. Also rumored to be required is an Mac computer with Intel processor, but we shall see about that!
