Snow Leopard upgrade for Mac will be available Friday

By

Apple announced this morning it is uncaging its latest Macintosh operating system, Snow Leopard, on Friday. The new software upgrade, offered at $29, is focused more on improving the “plumbing” of the operating system to take advantage of superfast, next-generation Intel chips than packing new whistles and bells. But Snow Leopard is expected to lay the foundation for future innovations tied to new chip development.

“Snow Leopard builds on our most successful operating system ever and we’re happy to get it to users earlier than expected,” Bertrand Serlet, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, said in a statement. “For just $29, Leopard users get a smooth upgrade to the world’s most advanced operating system and the only system with built-in Exchange support.”
