    I purchased a new Macbook Pro today at Frys, got an awesome deal 300$ off 1999$ price but when got home and opened it up it didnt have snow leopard install nore have it in the box to install, I thought it would come with it since its been out a month now. Anyway for me to get it? or do I have to pay for the upgrade

    the one you bought has been boxed up a long time waiting for someone to buy it... you have to use the uptodate program and get it sent to you for USD $9.95

    also, it will be nice to get the snow leopard cd for free (or +shipping). phone apple.

    anyway, the point i want to make is that snow leopard currently still to early to use.

    they currently still have major bugs.

    the most known big one at the moment is how using "guest" account could wiped out ALL user data on ALL account.
