Does anyone know if I am currently running the latest Snow Leopard build, as the time approaches and it is released to the public, will I have to re-install the OS or will I simply be able to purchase Snow Leopard and leave the current OS the way it is?



Is it better to re-install everything once the OS is released to the public?



Any advice would be good.



thanks.

    In order to have the final version you would have to install from a Gold Master or from the Release version, because as far as I know they have never let a developer preview cross over into "just software update" to release version.



    So yeah you would have to re-install...

    I was hoping I could just do a software update. Guess not. Worse case scenario I can just grab everything from time machine I guess.

    Suit yourself. I am just going to download a cracked version 20 minutes after it is officially released.

    Are you such a cheap bastard that you can't afford to pay $29 for the upgrade to Snow Leopard?
