According to MacRumors Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard build 10A432 reached GM status! Can't wait to see if it's true. :woot:

This is the build that was released a couple of weeks ago, right?

I also had thought that 10A432 was the latest build... strange!

Oh well, can't wait to see what's been fixed and everything, but the last build I tried was pretty damn stable!

For me, Snow Leopard goes like this :

I had about 100 things I didn't like about Leopard.

I have about 20 things left in Snow Leopard that I don't like.

These are small things of course, but still :)

So the update for $10 will be very nice for me!

Yeah, I just tried it, but it says 64 bit kernel incompatibility. Maybe your SL isn't running in 64 bit?

The release notes for Fusion 2.0.5 mention the following:

# Provides experimental support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server as a guest operating system (32-bit only)

# Provides experimental support for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard as a host operating system (32-bit only)

Same goes for the private beta version.

I do hope Fusion will have some (beta) version that is 64 bit compatible because it will be most likely that Snow Leopard machines will be running in 64 bit mode.

Can't wait to get this in my hands! Wish the preorders were available in Canada, though :(

Although I've gotta say, there's not the high level of excitement that I had for Leopard. That was a big OS update... this isn't so much. But tSL also only costs $29...

I just hope Apple really has something up their sleeve for 10.7. I'll probably get a higher level of excitement when I get the final list of new features on my screen, but right now I'm just not that excited.

Does it mean everyone testing Snow Leopard that gave feedback in the last few pages of this thread now have access to the Golden Master of Snow Leopard through Software Update?

I'm asking because I'm upgrading my MacBook, so it's being sold and I had to format the whole thing and reinstall a stable version of OS X along with a few apps. So no more Snow Leopard for me.

I don't dislike them, but they need to be modernized a bit. Give them a fresh look. I mean we have been stuck with basically the same damn things for ages now. Since day one I replaced them with Aqua Extreme, which looks much more polished.

It used to be a whole theme on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and below intended as a fix for everything Apple did "wrong" with Aqua. However on Leopard I only applied the scroll and progress bars. I haven't changed the title bar (Close/Minimize/Zoom) widgets. So the ones you're seeing in the screen shots are the system's defaults.

Am I the only one that likes the little aqua bits? :laugh:

Count me in too. While they might be dated it is nice to see them. They add some flavor to the gui and definitely stand out.

Btw, anyone else see one of the Adobe dev blogs. CS5 will drop PPC support, drop Carbon for Cocoa and go 64 bit native. mmm after seeing what Apple did when they did the same things I'm dying to see what CS5 will bring. I'm very anxious for it now.
