If you're still on the fence about Snow Leopard because you're not sure if it'll play well with your favorite app, Apple has a nice list for you.
We reported earlier about a Wiki that has a pretty substantial list of apps and their compatibility with Snow Leopard. Now Apple is throwing in its expertise with a list of incompatible software.
This is what Apple states on the page:
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard is designed to protect your Mac from certain incompatible software that can quit unexpectedly or cause other issues in Mac OS X v10.6.
When you install Snow Leopard or migrate to Snow Leopard, known-incompatible software is moved to a folder named Incompatible Software on your hard drive.
Snow Leopard also prevents known-incompatible software from opening. If you see an "Incompatible software" message, contact the software's vendor or visit their website for a later, compatible version.
While the list isn't nearly as robust as the Wiki, it's still good information for anyone that relies on any of the listed software for work.
