The latest update of the Apple Mac operating system OS X, known as Snow Leopard, goes on sale on Friday. The software - available only as a DVD, not a download - was originally due to hit shops in September but Apple brought it forward at the last minute. The system will go head-to-head with Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 7, due for release in October. Both will also compete with a system from Google, called Chrome OS, set for release in the second half of 2010. Whilst both Google and Microsoft will offer entirely new operating systems, Snow Leopard is a refinement to its predecessor Leopard. Graham Barlow, editor of MacFormat Magazine, said the update only betters the performance, and doesn't add that many more features to the previous version of OS X," he said. The update will retail at £25 in the UK ($29 in US) for Mac users who run Leopard۔
