Snow Leopard Was a Myth, and We All Fell for It

The Myth of Snow Leopard

Apple marketed Mac OS X Snow Leopard as a stability-focused release with '0 new features,' a promise that has since become a rallying cry for users of every platform. But as Rubenerd recounts, the reality was far messier: his own attempts to run it ended in downgrades, and Jeff Johnson's post lists the bugs it introduced. Yet the myth endures because people crave quality-of-life improvements over endless feature churn.
