750 MB is that the whole size or just the size of the update?

Size of the update, not the whole OS.

Newer version of Safari is installed with it, thank god. This OS is already rock solid. Very, very smooth performance. iChat, Mail, iCal, Safari all open in one bounce.

Only 750 MB. Wow, that's a snappy update size for just $ twenny-nine.niney-five huh, huh... (Tom Waits might could've have said it better.)

For the first time since OS X started I find myself using Firefox. I even harassed my kids about using firefox in the past. Well Safari is darn near unusable. I have given up. I really hope that Snow Leopard brings back a stable Safari.

First, clever name *cough*

Secondly... HUH?
Safari 4 appears to be nothing but stable. At least on all 15 of my systems.

Relax, Mac Daddy. Apple already said September, so it won't be "imminent" until late August (or maybe even mid-September). It's not going to come any earlier, even if it seems like they are getting real close to the release version.

I have a feeling Snow Leopard is going to be the most problem-free initial "big cat" version release. I'll be upgrading right away, and enjoying the release day festivities at the local Apple Store.

Apple should make a T.V. Ad. This is what it should say. Find a OS upgrade for less and we will pay you. Lol snow lep $29 lol.

@bigdallas ... sadly apple would be paying at least 7 people for upgrading their copies of ubuntu linux.

Until a few days ago I had severe problems with slow loading pages in Safari 4. Is this what you are experiencing? That was my gripe. I was advised to change my DNS settings and found a thread in the Apple discussions forum on how to change them. IT WORKED! Safari 4 is performing very well for me now.
