And for completeness I have just been informed that it has been
decided its not worth the time, effort or costs to upgrade any of the
300 + systems as there is are no signicant gains to made by installing
Snow Leopard indeed several major issue have been indentfied all of
which have been reported in the correct manner, these are real people
managing real systems...

Who work hard and earn there paychecks....

Have any of the IT people actually used Snow Leopard? The college where
I work (which is mostly Windows) has a policy of getting a few copies of
the newest version of an OS and running them on some testbed systems to
see if there are any incompatibilities. If your people are making a
decision without using the actual real version then they are worse than
our IT department. They tend to upgrade more often than they need,
IMHO, primarily because they want to support the fewest number of
configurations and you can bet that new macs will not be available with
10.5.

Yes they have been running extensive testing on on beta 10A432 which is probably the last release before its lauched....They have been testing as proper registered beta testers on 3 machines iMac, MacPro, and the white intel iBook, information is obviously limited because of disclosure rules...

Safari seems to be creating a number of issues mainly freezes or not being to access the internet and these are widespread issues shared by many outside of the college...Being an LEA college, funds are always limited and some issues have come up with earler software this was expected...

The purppse of my original post was simply and quite clearly to make others aware of the simple fact you cannot go back to Safari 3.0 + in Snow Leopard....

You have two alternatives to use Safari 4.0 + or alternative web browser...

The choice is down to end user to make a decision based on factual information that I thought worth sharing..

I have have worked with IT staff as this was my job before I retired as I have more time to tinker round the edges and so far not found a workround, however there more skilled people than me out there and maybe they will find a workround...

So once again ts back my original post be warned you cannot go back to Safari 3.0 + and note "a clean install" will have to be carried out...

There are other issues, some serious enough for the IT staff to make the decision they have made, this is applicable to there work and user enviroment, for the idiot's who now seem to be abundance on this board and choose to be abusive its there work enviroment not a morons work space...

In time Apple will bring updates out and 10.6.1 will fix most and this I would expect to be close on after release as we will all then have become beta testers....
