Apple drops their evolution to OS X today with Snow Leopard. As if you didn’t already know.

We picked up our copy this morning and are happy to report that, well, it’s a screamer. Version 10.6 of Apple’s new OS is all about the speed, Bolt and Phelps style. Some of it you won’t recognize right away (as is Apple’s style), but the interface upgrades make Snow Leapord absolutely worth the $29. Apple’s also packed it full of new features such as an Active Exposé enabled Dock, speedier wake-up and startup, higher resolution iChat, Quicktime X, and this author’s favorite feature: giving me back 7 GB of my damn hard drive.

Cost: $29 | Amazon: $25
