The Ars Technica review of Snow Leopard that Tom Carter pointed out  
the other day got me sufficiently excited to order it, and a friend  
who is returning from the states next week can bring it to me here in  
Ecuador. While I'm waiting, I am looking into how best to install it  
on a separate partition of my MacBook Pro, in order to gradually  
migrate applications and user data over from my Leopard partition. The  
main applications that I use extensively and would have any concerns  
over are Skype and Sketchup. Skype sounds potentially problematic  
(users have reported it taking more CPU on Snow Leopard than on  
Windows running under Parallels on Snow Leopard). Sketchup, Office  
2008, and Photoshop CS3 sound good to go, and I would hope that the  
OSX apps like Mail and Safari would be fine as well. And they released  
10.6.1 yesterday. I'll post about my experience after I have given it  
a try.
