Why oh why is there no option to buy a new MBP with this on?
Now I'm left with the decision of whether or not to go and order now and get an upgrade on the hardware at a later date or just leave it all for the time being
Not sure what you mean by that - if it doesn't have Snow Leopard in the box you can order a DVD for £7.95.
They better have changed the bloody scroll bars!
Out of curiosity, why do you need Leopard on it already to do a fresh install?
Ok, I pre-ordered it a few weeks ago on the up to date program, never done this before, am I likely to get the discs on Friday 28th or will they ship on Friday 28th and I'll get them a few days after?
