[X4U] 10.5 instead of 10.6

[John Engberg]

Dear zc,
It would be interesting if you would elucidate, and tell us which applications you, personally, are having problems with. Indicting Snow leopard as not for prime time without any evidence is a disservice to everyone. Frankly, I have been using Snow Leopard since it was released, and the only application that doesn't work for me is Extensis Browser, which has ppc code and was never updated. AppleWorks still works in Snow Leopard, and it is very long in the tooth. Your comments please.

Bear in mind they had access (or should have, if they really cared) to Developer versions of SL long before the mainstream release. Any application that *still* doesn't work properly with SL obviously doesn't really care so is effectively dead ...
