Guy English on Nostr: Not to be too much of a party-pooper about Snow Leopard and it’s No New Features ...
Not to be too much of a party-pooper about Snow Leopard and it’s No New Features promise of a focus on reliability but—it came as iPhone OS 2.0 had just shipped, iPad was a year out, made major changes to the Finder, got all(?) system apps to be 64bit, and introduced GCD (Dispatch). So, you know, it was probably as heavy a lift, if not more so, than other macOS releases. I did really like it! But let’s not get too nostalgic about things.
