Because I'm very disappointed about how Snow Leopard acts on my eeepc 1000H.

I have a few issues only visible if you burst a bit your OS.

For example:

  • If you make quick circles with your USB mouse when your OS is booting you can see some mouse lags resulting to a teleportation of your mouse somewhere outside the circle (Leopard doesn't act like that with the mouse). The same issue can be saw if you load a big app for the first time, such as google earth, photoshop etc.
  • Opening many windows and then using the F9 key makes SL goes very slow and use a lot of CPU (Leopard react very well to this kind of burst).
  • If you quickly press the F9 then F10 keys many times, you can see some artifacts due to some part of remaining peace of windows you are manipulating. (Still no prob with Leopard…)
  • Selecting too many icons with the mouse is very very SLOOOOOW…

Etc.

Many things like that are very annoying for people like me who want to go fast and well when using such an OS. Obviously people who takes their time for clicking on a button will never see any of these points…

I'm still waiting to see some videos that prove it's possible to get a better Leo with Snow.

Regards,
Thi.

Speaking of issues with Snow Leopard has the sound unmuting problem been fully fixed? I abandoned OS X and moved to Linux because of it. While I like Linux I would really like to move back to OS X but the sound issue is keeping me from moving back to it.

Sound unmuting? I don't think I have such an issue... Maybe try to check it on ipis:

Yeah, we spoke briefly about it last year. On 10.6 if you put the computer to sleep with the sound muted or turned all the way down. When it wakes up the icon shows that it is still muted but, the sound is on full volume without showing it. The work around I put together didn't work correctly so I gave up and abandoned all hope. I didn't know if it was fixed.
