Mac OS X Snow Leopard
Snow Leopard is an even more powerful and refined version of the world’s most advanced operating system. In ways big and small, it gets faster, more reliable, and easier to use. New core technologies unleash the power of today’s advanced hardware technology and prepare Mac OS X for future innovation. And Snow Leopard includes built-in support for the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server, so you can use your Mac at home and at work.

Intel Only!
Mac OS X Snow Leopard is now an Intel only system. This means that it cannot run on PowerPC systems, like G4s and G5s. Customers with PowerPC systems that would like to transition to an Intel system to take advantage of Snow Leopard and other applications like Final Cut Studio and Logic Studio can speak to a sales rep about trading in their computer toward the purchase of a new system.

Refined, not reinvented.
Mac OS X is renowned for its simplicity, its reliability, and its ease of use. So when it came to designing Snow Leopard, Apple engineers had a single goal: to make a great thing even better. They searched for areas to refine, further simplify, and speed up — from little things like ejecting external drives to big things like installing the OS. In many cases, they elevated great to amazing.

Built-in apps are now 64-bit.
Nearly all system applications — including the Finder, Mail, Safari, iCal, and iChat — are now built with 64-bit code. So not only are they able to take full advantage of all the memory in your Mac, but the move to 64-bit applications also boosts overall performance. Together with other refinements and improvements in Snow Leopard, this means that just about everything you do — from launching applications like QuickTime to running JavaScript in Safari to opening image files — will feel faster and more responsive.

More Accessible Than Ever.
Every Mac comes standard with a wide range of assistive—or Universal Access—technologies that help people with disabilities experience what the Mac has to offer. Snow Leopard continues this support with a variety of innovative features that advance accessibility even further. Click the image to learn more.

Exchange Support.
Mac OS X Snow Leopard includes out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 in Mail, iCal, and Address Book, so you can use your Mac — with all the features and applications you love — at home and at work and have all your messages, meetings, and contacts in one place.
