    I am going to run the Time Machine and do a full backup.

    Does this also backup all my apps/programs? I use photoshop CS4 quite often and have a lot of styles and brushes on it, will those come as well?

    I will then insert the Snow Lepoard cd and install the new OS. It will then ask me if I want to make a drive for booting windows correct? I forgot how I did my bootcamp drive before.

    Once Snow Lepoard it will ask me to run time machine backup, and will backup everything from before.

    Am I correct?

    Thanks a lot in advance!!!

    It backs up everything, yes.

    It does not set up a bootcamp partition on default.

    You use bootcamp assistant once you get into SL.
