Received my copy of SL this morning, so I popped it into the disk drive, it loaded, pressed install and away it went. Install took around 50 minutes on my white Macbook. A bit quicker than some reviews I've read, but that might be down to the preparation I did last night.

I didn't really notice any speed difference on boot up or shut down, but It's noticeably quicker than Leopard when opening apps, especially the mail app, lightening fast. I particularly like the new Expose feature within the dock, I've always used expose and i'll find this new feature very useful. Quick Time X has had a major overall it looks and feels very light, is this Apple showing us a glimpse into the future?.

I've only one problem with computability with other apps, NeoOffice would not open, but a download patch from NeoOffice website cured this. I would recommend downloading AppFresh and running it before installing SL. It surprised me how many apps have recently had an upgrades, obviously due to the imminent launch of SL.

Overall your not going to see a lot of difference between Leopard and Snow Leopard, apart from the speed.
