That's disappointing.

Freaking thumb drive won't boot my netbook so I can't get 10.6 installed. Not sure what's up with it. Tried restoring the image a half dozen times. Tried booting with NetbookBootMaker on the image, tried booting with my old syslinux USB and then straight into 10.6, nothing either way. Everyone else seems to be getting it working so I don't know what the problem is.
I'm somewhat curious if my 16G flash drive just won't boot. My 4GB Cruzer does, but my 16G just sits at a black screen with the cursor flashing. I guess I'll try sticking syslinux on the 16GB stick and see if it boots at all.
Also iTunes 9 is a step backwards in almost every way... hurrrrr lets just keep on adding features that nobody cares about.
its a damn music player. keep it simple. itunes was the greatest around v6-v7. they need to pull a win7/osx10.6 on it: focus on the essence and make that greater.
until you realize that you're paying almost 20 dollars for bonus content you'll rarely if ever use. we've had these before, they were called digipack cds. they died a deserved death.
HAH I got it working. I forgot to partition the flash drive as GUID. :mad: I assumed restoring the image would do that, but it didn’t. It’s in the middle of installing right now.
Actually the new form seems nicer to me, cleaner if you will. Been using Snow Leopard since the Monday after its release. The biggest thing I was looking for is Exchange support and man is it good. It works better with Exchange 2007 then Outlook 2007 does :eek:. It picks up the outlook anywhere settings flawlessly, if it's setup and configured on your server properly.
The base-10 vs. base-2 change doesn't really effect me or my team that much. It'll just a bit confusing for some people but overall not a big deal for us. I hope those that have problems with it that it gets resolved for you through a toggle as many of you suggested.

A bonus also, just swapped out my main HDD to a 256GB SSD and the difference is insane... Even though it's only SATA, it runs circles around my old drive. Granted my old drive is a 500GB 5400RPM 2.5".

The size difference isn't much, is it really that big of a deal?
The 160GB hard drive on my late 2007 MBP is always about 20-30GB from being full so it made a difference for me. I was about to buy a larger hard drive, but the extra space I got prevented me from doing so.
That aside, 16GB for a fresh install (with iLife and everything, but still) was ridiculous so it's only right that they stripped out some junk.
