Upgrade check: Are your applications ready for Snow Leopard?

We’ve come across this useful Wiki page detailing numerous applications, both independently-developed and otherwise, which offers advice as to whether the apps are compatible with Snow Leopard.

While we’re aware the page has existed for a while now, we thought it probably a good time to remind readers of its existence.

As it is a Wiki, you can contribute to the data on the page should you come across a new app that does/doesn’t work, or should you be a developer checking for erroneous information.

Go see. And while you do, it may be worth taking a look at some of the available books detailing how to make the best out of the new OS, scheduled to begin shipping worldwide from this Friday.

wow a lot of the applications I use are still having issues, guess I'll wait before updating my mac to Snow Leopard until at least the majority works ok.

No show stoppers for me. Have placed my Leopard preorder.

I just checked with several Apple tech sources, asking a simple question: Will all the applications that have run for me under Leopard also run under Snow Leopard? In each case, the response was an unualified "yes". A lot of this incompatibility nonsense apparently stems from early worries that Snow Leopard would not include Rosetta. It does. So it can definitely run PPC applications.

Isn't this the big question? Eudora yes or no?

This is quite a list. I use cocktail and onyx, among others. I also have a Keyspan USB Server - no mention if the driver is compatible.
