I have had leopard for a while now and I was thinking about upgrading to Snow Leopard. Is it worth the 35 bucks or should I just wait until the 3rd quarter for Lion to be released?

i'd wait,
it's not that different.

If you're going to upgrade, I say wait. Any particular reason you want to upgrade though? I'm on Snow Leopard (2009 MBP) and don't really expect to move to Lion.

It's not a whole lot different, but I'd take snow leopard over leopard any day. If you have the $35, do it.

I'd suggest that if you want to update, do a clean install of Snow Leopard. That way you can clean up your system at the same time, and maybe gain some more speed up. You can do a full install off of the upgrade disc.

I just recently upgraded after using Leopard for two and a half years, and my iMac's a lot faster now.
