Somehow I don't think Cyberduck made the advanced copy list. That's the point. Sure Microsoft probably got Snow Leopard in advance but a lot of developers didn't and it's unfair to chastise them for not being prepared when there's no way they could have been. That said, I mean no offense but I thought this comment by you was hilarious... "It would be irresponsible not to work with vendors that make applications for your OS to make sure that your user's favorite programs still work in the latest version of your OS." I'm not sure if you own an iPhone or not but if you did you'd know Version 3 nuked A LOT of programs.

No iPhone here - perhaps that's why I still have that naive attitude :)

Anyone who is a premium member of ADC or went to WWDC got an advance copy. You don't need to "make the advanced copy list."

  In fairness I had forgotten that advance copies were handed out at WWDC. But at the same time the conference was attended by 5,000 people many of which were journalists so I still don't think that qualifies as "easy for a developer to get their hands on" (I don't know that it was distributed to ADC members) Also, I go back to my original point which is now that Snow Leopard is public we STILL don't have an official list from Apple of what they changed.

  This is how I suggest developers "prepare for Snow Leopard".
