Snow Leopard expectations: Potentially worth the upgrade?

We've heard lots of people chime in with reviews of Snow Leopard, and for the most part reviewers are encouraging the $29 upgrade... but why? What's the motivator? We talk to Michael Gartenberg from Interpret and Rory Reid from CNET UK about the new OS.

Michael tends to think the upgrade is worth it. He's been using the OS for a few weeks, and says it's noticeably faster and a "no-brainer upgrade," not to mention the business shenanigans that Apple pulled against Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7, beating it to market by nearly two months.

Rory, on the other hand, isn't so convinced. Sure, it might be faster, but is it really worth spending the cash? He's not so sure... especially when there's not a dead ringer reason to do so. Sounds to us, anyway, like Rory's more inclined to take advantage of all the 64-bit advantages once his computer can do the same, which unless users have 4GB of ram or greater, the benefits aren't as stark as they will be.

What's your take? Are you going to take the plunge when the operating system hits the streets tomorrow? Are you going to upgrade to Windows 7? Sound off in the comments.
