It updates the kernel to 64bit operability (but not enabled on all computers–I had to manually enable this feature on my unibody MacBook). Also, the Finder is now fully Cocoa (meaning that it chucked the last of the code remnants of the pre-MacOS X days). Other features include security enhancements and a built-in malware detector.

Snow Leopard costs $30, because it is an update to Leopard rather than a full OS upgrade. Was it worth it? That’s hard to say right now since I just installed it, but I’m always glad to see updates that give speed bumps and a more secure code base.

What is being changed in this update? Is there any big reason for the change?
