Q. Is snow leopard a full operating system? I can only find Snow Leopard for $30 is it just an upgrade? I want to put it on my PC.
A. Snow Leopard is a full operating system. Apple doesn't deal with silly things like upgrade disks- there's only one version. However 1) you can legally only install OS X on Apple's computers and 2) if you do install OS X on your computer (which, since it requires a firmware called EFI instead of the standard BIOS, requires some hacking on your part), you probably won't find drivers for all your components.
what is exactly the difference between mac os x and snow leopard?
Q. I just bought the new 2011 macbook pro and was wondering that my mac came with max osx 10.6.6. What is the purpose of snow leopard or whatever its called. Is it for a more specialized software for developers or is it an upgrade like vista to windows 7? And I heard that mac os Lion is coming out this summer as well too. So basically what is it for and should I buy it when it comes out. Thank you in advance.
A. Sy,
"Mac OS X" is the current nomenclature of the operating system used on Apple laptops and desktop computers. "Mac OS X" is analogous to "Microsoft Windows" in that it indicates which operating system you are using but not which version of the operating system. "Snow Leopard" is the codename for Mac OS X 10.6.
Apple Inc. has extremely competitive pricing for their operating system upgrades. I expect that Mac OS X Lion will be priced at ~ $29 - $49 based on previous experience. "Lion" is expected to bring significant improvements in the user experience based on Apple's mobile operating system "iOS." For example:
Launchpad - Launchpad gives you instant access to your apps â iPad style. Just click the Launchpad icon in your Dock. Your open windows fade away, replaced by an elegant, full-screen display of all the apps on your Mac. It takes just a swipe to see multiple pages of apps, and you can arrange them any way you like by dragging icons to different locations or by grouping apps in folders. And when you download an app from the Mac App Store, it automatically appears in Launchpad.
Full Screen Apps - On iPad, every app is displayed full screen, with no distractions, and thereâs one easy way to get back to all your other apps. Mac OS X Lion does the same for your desktop. You can make a window in an app full screen with one click, switch to another appâs full-screen window with a swipe of the trackpad, and swipe back to the desktop to access your other apps â all without ever leaving the full-screen experience. Systemwide support allows third-party developers to take advantage of full-screen technology to make their apps more immersive, too. So you can concentrate on every detail of your work, or play on a grander scale than ever before.*
Mission Control - Mission Control is a powerful and handy new feature that provides you with a comprehensive look at whatâs running on your Mac. It gives you a birdâs-eye view of everything â including Dashboard and full-screen apps â all in one place. With a simple swipe, your desktop zooms out to Mission Control. There you can see your open windows grouped by app, thumbnails of your full-screen apps, and Dashboard, arranged in a unified view. And you can get to anything you see in Mission Control with just one click. Making you the master of all you survey.
Gestures and Animations - Multi-Touch gestures make everything you do on iPad easy and intuitive. Now a richer Multi-Touch experience comes to the Mac. Enjoy more fluid and realistic gesture responses, including rubber-band scrolling, page and image zoom, and full-screen swiping. In Mac OS X Lion, every swipe, pinch, and scroll looks and feels more responsive and lifelike.

What is the difference with the Snow Leopard and the Server?
Q. I am getting the Snow Leopard for sure but I noticed the really cool looking blue colored one that said server. But I don't get what it is. I think it is also more expensive. What's the difference?
A. The snow leopard (Panthera uncia or Uncia uncia), sometimes known as "ounce," is a moderately large cat native to the mountain ranges of Central Asia. The classification of this species has been subject to change and its exact taxonomic position will not be resolved until further studies are conducted.
It cannot roar, despite possessing an incomplete ossification of the hyoid bone. The presence of this ossification was previously thought to be essential for allowing the big cats to roar. However, new studies show that the ability to roar is due to other morphological features, especially of the larynx, which are absent in the snow leopard
