    So with Snow Leopard out Friday and the upgrade cost from Leopard to Snow Leopard being £25 are you going to upgrade?

    no plans to upgrade at present. I think that my little 1 generation MacBook runs just fine as it is.

    I may however have to upgrade the work Mac's though.

    I'll be upgrading my Macbook, but not for a while. Leopard suits me fine for the moment, and performance is great as it is. That said, £25 is nearly nothing, and it might even fix the wireless flakiness.

    The work Macs - I have no idea, as there is a Mac server to consider as well, and its not my decision.

    I've got a Mac mini and will be upgrading. However as I have 10.4, instead of 10.5 (Leopard), it may be more than that to upgrade. Will wait for all my other projects to finish :)

    I'd be tempted to buy it, if I could install onto vmware. Whilst there appears to be various articles detailing how (incidentally, how do I tell if my CPU has PAE?), apparently its not legal?

    Its against the EULA, the license is granted for one install on Apple hardware.

    yep, thats what I read too. what a bunch of gits. seems like a ripe opportunity for them to try and convert the windows market, just by allowing it on windows hosts.
