Kerio MailServer and Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Apple has announced that Mac OS X Snow Leopard will be available on Friday, August 28, 2009. Kerio MailServer versions 6.7.1 and older do not fully support the desktop clients in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Therefore, Kerio advises that all Kerio MailServer customers do not upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard at this time. While Kerio does not disclose information about unreleased products, Kerio remains committed to the Mac platform and Kerio MailServer will support Mac OS X Snow Leopard in the next service release.

Glad I saw this thread before I headed out to buy SL. Now I won't bother.

What do you have that is incompatible?

I'm about to undertake the SL move... I'll tell you what, if Caffeine doesn't work anymore, I'll be really upset!

HP Scanjet 4670. They haven't upgraded those drivers since 2004. I would have rolled back to keep my scanner.
HP does a somewhat acceptable job to update the print drivers. But updated scanner drivers from HP? Almost never.

When I upgraded from a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac, my previous HP all-in-one did not get any new driver. No new print and scanner drivers that would work under Leopard. I had to abandon that all-in-one and buy a newer model.

I could face the same problem this time going from Leopard to Snow Leopard.

Anyone having problems with Adobe CS4?
Illustrator was crashing like crazy yesterday during and open/save/export dialogs. I thought Default Folder X (4.3) might be the culprit, but disabling it resulted in the same crashes.
I also had crashes in Photoshop CS4, Safari, Mail, and Grab.
I tried repairing permissions and blowing out font caches.
Also our Xante Accel-A-Writer 3N drivers won't allow proper printing to letter size paper through the manual feed tray. I've been in touch with Xante tech support about that one as I had similar issues when I upgraded to Panther.

Marketcircle has a beta for Daylite that has been available for the past few days which resolves a SL problem. The beta is 3.9.4. The current release of Billings does work.

FileMaker has some issues but I haven't come across any in any of my solutions yet.

One of my clients requires Secure Client for gaining VPN access and it is broken with Snow Leopard. I've got a My Passport that I'm going to install Leopard back on to deal with this.

I've got a Solitaire application that has told me that it needs Rosetta. I declined, I want to see what else needs it.

Looks like I'll have to wait for SIL 3132 for my express card, and for my m-audio.
Will play around with it on the Mac Pro which hasn't sold yet.

Working so far.

Safari Adblock does not work in 64 bit under Snow Leopard. I'll wait for a fix rather than run Safari in 32 bit, which can be done:

Martin Ottenwaelter - Safari AdBlock on Snow Leopard

Although... now that I see 1Password needs Safari to run in 32 bit mode...

I have a number of music apps in addition to GarageBand, such as Cubase, Logic Express, EZDrummer, and Sibelius just to name a few, as well as a Tascam US-428 interface. Is there any information out there about SL's compatibility with these music apps?

that is a MS issues that was happening under 10.4 10.5 - so that is old news
not a 10.6 issue

Tread carefully with the snowy beast....
Sitting at my desk, I'm looking at a dozen peripherals that are critical to my business. Considering their finicky drivers and the trunk load of SW and pricey 3rd party plugins (some tenuously supported even under Leo), I can't see how anyone in an arts related field is jumping into this upgrade at this point.

The cost of a SL box is SFA, if I've got to buy lunch for the Silverfast bunch for the next two years.

I've got serious homework to do on this, and frankly don't see getting in there till 10.6.2.
