I gotta say I don't really put much stock into beryl effects. Granted the zoom in/out with scroll ball on mouse and the expose in mac os is pretty nice, but I never found a use for the virtual desktop program I downloaded that turns my desktop into a cube-- nor would I want my windows to shake like rags when I wiggle them.
I really wanna try out Snow Leopard as a mac user, but I'ma have to wait until I upgrade my whole iMac and get a newer version. That's one disadvantage apple consumers have with their laptops and/or all in one designs. You can only upgrade ram and that's it. Any other upgrades have to be done through buying a new computer. Usually tho a good iMac or notebook from apple will last you a good 5-6 years so it evens out. Definitely not for the type of people who must be at the lead of the pack at all times though.
So anyways Snow Leopard uses innovative features like Grand Central for software developers to take advantage of quad cores and Open CL for software developers to take advantage of the computer's graphics chip to further boost performance. I saw a couple of numbers and I was highly impressed. I wonder what type of features microsoft will respond with with 7.
I will say one thing tho Linux as some of the best freeware I've ever seen.
