Well it just came out, and since my Mac Mini was purchased recently, I only had to pay $9.95 instead of $29.

I think it sounds like a great deal.  Although to be a skeptic, I might ask, which is better:
A) release a free service pack every year for 5 years, then sell a new version on the 6th year for $100

B) release a a service pack every year for $30

So maybe you can argue that “B)” is closer to what Microsoft did with Windows XP vs. Vista?  But I only say that for the sake of argument (devil’s advocate).

Overall, I’m enthused to try out Snow Leopard.  I think the low cost is awesome, and the focuses on real improvements (like performance) (rather than random feature bloat) is also great

Also, as far as new features goes, I am excited about out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange 2007, seeing as it’s what most corporations use.

They definitely got my $10, and with no complaints

Although keep in mind I wrote this post after I ordered it, but before the DVD arrived in the snail/paper mail
