Yep, I gained an extra 20GB.

All they did was remove a bunch of built-in device drivers for old printers etc.

Not magic.

I assume that the capacity increase is because the size of the EFI partition has been reduced.

Maybe, but it's more likely the change to counting GB the same ways as hard-drive manufacturers do.

According to El Reg it might be worth updating the version of Flash on your Snow Leopard systems...

Oddly enough I just bought my Mum a Snow Leopard as a birthday present.

Of course it was made by Royal Crown Derby.

Have to install rosetta separately, but it prompts you to do it...

Upgrade if you just slot the disk in. You can do a clean install if you dig around IIRC.

Are MS being forced to drop it to avoid being sued? Or are they wanting everyone to use Outlook proper from Office?
