If you pre-ordered Snow Leopard, the big day has arrived. I pre-ordered, and at 9.10 AM on Friday August 28, the courier arrived. Snow Leopard was installed, and working great so far, at 11.10 AM.
The install (I used the default installation option) took one hour, and didn’t require any intervention from me at all.
Preparations I made for the big install
In the week leading up to “Install Day” I tidied up my hard drive, and checked for Snow Leopard-ready versions of the software I use every day.
Two of my favourite programs, 1Password and RapidWeaver had beta versions, so I downloaded those and installed them. (I installed 1Password after I installed Snow Leopard, because it’s SL-only.)
Just before I ran the installation, I ran Time Machine to back up, and Super Duper as well, so that I had a bootable copy of my hard drive.
Am I happy? Yes! I’m pleased I’ve done it. I can now relax. 
Happy installation to you, too.
