Needs to have OSX Lion 10.7.x. or higher.
I really dont want to upgrade to Lion on my Macbook Air which is my main machine at present!
The underlying OS is the same it is just extra bells and whistles that I dont need/want in 10.7 and 10.8
I suppose I will have to put it on my Mountain Lion Machine. :-(
OK The basic OS is the same but the OS has been considerably developed to handle multithreading and CPU Load Balance, which means the applications don't have to perform that task which it really an OS task anyway. There has been a lot of tweaking and attention to detail improvements since Snow Leopard. I wouldn't stick at Lion, it's only a half step to Mountain Lion.
To me the only justification to use SL 10.6.x is to enable the use of legacy software. The only thing I had was MS Office 2004, which I have dumped now anyway in favour of the iWork suit, which with one or two snags, is OK for what I need.
