Mac OS X Snow Leopard Gold Master Build 10A432 preview

A brief overview of some of the features and things I noticed using the new Snow Leopard build. This is supposed to be the same build that will be released as a final version to the public soon, but no one will know if that is true until it is released.

UPDATE Aug 26 '09: According to Gizmodo, the final retail package does contain build 10A432. So this definitely is the final build.

How can mail be faster?! It was instant on Leopard...

I remember reading how waking up and hibernating the computer would be faster, then it'd effing wake up before I touched it! Seriously, if I compare my Macs instant hibernation with my PC's (which has better specs mind you), you will notice a difference on about, errr, 15 seconds?

God how I adore my Mac :3

yup, well i think it might have been more noticeable for me because i was on an older core duo macbook from 2006, so minor OS speed improvements were probably more apparent. speed was great in leopard too. definitely love the fast sleep and wake up!

I have a Core 2 Duo from 2007. Is it that much of a difference?

[baozitech]

@Dojan5 hard to say. i know with a core 2 duo processor you can take advantage of the benefits of 64 bit, so its a little more future proof in snow leopard than core duo. not sure how noticeable any differences would be...

[segr3do]

Very well done..

Just one think, if you have an Core Duo, you dont have 64-bit processor... that was only indroduced on Core2Duo...

[baozitech]

that's true, my older computer can't take advantage of 64 bit. but the newer processors should benefit greatly.

Windows 7 has made a lot of improvements! Mac OS X Snow Leopard is amazing! Both systems have their ups and downs. Get the best of both worlds and stop bitching.

[Andrew19ao]

no, its different on OSX than it is on Windows. Mac is just the hardware. =)

I thought the EU didn't like Microsoft bundling IE into Windows. There is no difference between that and Apple putting Safari into OSX.

[Andrew19ao]

I want my own personal computer. That means it is not the same as millions of others. Every computer should be different.
