According to MacRumours, Apple has finalised Snow Leopard and designated the “Golden Master” final build as 10.6 Build 10A432. This means the devs can stop working, as this should be the build shipped when the release date comes around next month.
Snow Leopard should bring some major speed increases over the old 10.5 “Leopard” and according to Apple, most system applications have made the switch to 64-bit. It is also the first release to drop PowerPC support completely; it’s about time if you ask me, as the last PowerPC Mac was released in 2005.
…And there go my hopes of upgrading the OS on my old Powermac G4!
