Tour of Apple Snow Leopard operating system: ($29 US)
"Legacy" users often stick with older technology because upgrades break something they really rely on.
The PowerPC chip was made by an alliance that included Apple, IBM, and Motorola.
Rosetta is a program that lets software written for PowerPC run on Intel-based Apple systems.
Some people claim less space savings; others claim as much as 20 gigabytes of freed-up drive space.
Average users may not notice much boost in speed. Power users will notice it more.
Grand Central Dispatch = allows programmers of software to more easily utilize the multiple cores on each processor.
OpenCL = dedicates some of the regular computing tasks to the graphics processor that may not being used at the moment.
Cocoa is one of Apple's programming environments.
Quicktime X = replaces Quicktme 7.
