I've purchased the new Apple Mac OSX "Snow Leopard" on last Friday (the day it was released) and installed in on Monday. Now I'm using it for 4 days, And here's what I felt about it.

There's no big changes in appearance. QuickTime has been upgraded slickly, and few sensitive UI changes on dock and finder, and other basic apps. That's pretty much all.

But if we go inside, as the New York Times journalist David Pogue descried, Apple did some unique upgrade this time. instead of adding new features, they actually shrank it. They compressed and lightened the previous OS so that it became more fast, and occupy half the size.

In my thought, Apple's products are getting close to "perfect". So there's nothing to be improved at this moment, they're just polishing it on and on. MacBook did the same, and now the OSX did. I think it's very positive way to make products.

And other one thing that I found out and surprised was, that Apple's OS doesn't have any anti-pirating method. They sell the software, and the customers are allowed to install the software to only 1 Mac, but if they intend to, they can install it to as many Macs as they want! It's so called "honor system". They just believe customers. And they even sell the Family Pack which can be installed to 5 Macs! I think those 2 packages are just same! It was even a little shock to me. I also bought the software for $29 (45,000 won), but I'm not regretting it. Actually I'm proud of it. Maybe that's the power of Apple.
