The myth and reality of Mac OS X Snow Leopard

@lapcatsoftware Nice work. I, too, dislike the fuzzy & warm remembrance of Snow Leopard. It's the software version of the Mandela Effect on display.

The SJ timing is an interesting bit as I wonder how much of the alignment of schedules was due to a misguided attempt to "maximize resources?” How much of Apple's software quality problems are the result of trying to leverage a ton of code across devices and runtimes and the breadth is just too massive otherwise manage on an annual cycle?
