Having used Tiger (10.4) for the last couple of years and loving it, I finally decided to upgrade, holding my breath and getting an external hard disk as well to be able to use Time Machine. The install from the Snow Leopard DVD took only 55 minutes - and everything (bar my wireless connection) was set up as before, from my desktop background through to all of my preferences on Firefox, Safari and Word. What's better for me, in particular, is being able to sync my Google account to Mail and iCal; Mail is great to use for things like invites or anything with a date on it, because you can get iCal to add the event pretty much automatically. The first couple of loads of anything seem a bit jumpy, but now everything is working super smooth and quickly. I think QuickPlayerX is 20 times better than its predecessors. Preview's also improved - I had been using Adobe Reader, but now I'm back to Preview with this update.
iLife 09 is big improvement on 06 - particularly the iPhoto update. Numbers is a brilliant spreadsheet package and Pages seems to be coming along, although I still find Word a bit more intuitive (perhaps out of habit than by design).
Overall, if you're a Tiger user looking to upgrade your OS, I can't recommend this highly enough. It's been one of the smoothest experiences upgrading let alone installing an OS I've ever encountered (and I've done a few).

I can't fault this product. Well, actually I can, but only a bit. I have experienced the same glitch that others have in that after upgrading to Snow Leopard, Front Row movies play very jerky, and I've had to revert to using 'DVD Player', which is a minor inconvenience really. Other than that I think this package is fantastic value for money. When you consider what they charge for Microsoft Office and compare that with just iWork on it's own, I think it's a no-brainer.
Speaking of no-brainers, I am not an intensive spreadsheet user or document publisher, so don't need the depth and complexity that 'Word' brings. And explains why I always had such trouble producing Word documents which were anything above very basic. I am self-employed and run my own advertising, website, accounts and marketing all using the suite contained in this box, and I am more productive, better organised, happier and less stressed than ever I was trying to use MS Office. Time saved alone is worth the investment.
One slight niggle again is the facial recognition software of iPhoto. It barely works to be honest. My suspicion is that it will work fine if you are starting a photo library from scratch with it. I had over 2,000 photos, and as it has to search and compare every single one, it takes a long time and can be quite inaccurate (I can understand it thinking statues are faces, but plant pots?).
Overall, a brilliant package of software, quite underpriced if you consider what is actually in the box and possible with it all once installed. Worth the upgrade!

I used this product to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard. The process took over 45 minutes but it looked after itself the whole time and was entirely trouble free. I'm very pleased with the resulting system.

MAC OS and iWork upgrade
I originally bought my MAC with a special offer on iWork 08, which was explained a month later when 09 was releaseed. Being new to the MAC world this was a surprise. Read more

Good update
Great update with iLife and iWork included. Bought because it was a bargain as Lion is due out soon and iLife has missing features that I wanted in iphoto and iMovie.

Good(ish) but..bugs & I feel a little cheated
I decided it was time to upgrade to Snow Leopard because there was other software I really needed that only runs with the new OS. I upgraded from Tiger. Read more

Mac '09 software and Snow Leopard OS
I waited a bit to upgrade my '08 Mac OS and iLife software. Once the price was right, I went for it and it was well worth it.

Slower than 10.4 on my Mac Mini
This has a lot of good new stuff, particularly Pages, Numbers, and Time Machine is awesome, but it has slowed my Mac down.
