| Bottom line | Though it's not a complete system or interface overhaul, Mountain Lion's improved core apps and new features make it well worth the $19.99 price. | Microsoft makes an aggressive, forward-thinking, and bold statement for the future of PCs with
Windows 8, and vast security and speed improvements more than justify the $40 upgrade price. | Info unavailable | Intel Mac users will like
Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the $29 upgrade fee. | Chrome OS struggles with the delineation between apps and Web sites, even though they are fast growing together. Great for students and casual home use, the day is coming when it'll be competitive, but it's not yet a replacement for a more mature OS. |
