Last night I upgraded my MacBook Pro from Leopard to Snow Leopard.  I used the upgrade method instead of the clean install.  So far I cannot tell that anything is different.  This really does look and feel like an under the hood upgrade.  At this point I have not dug into Snow Leopard UI changes, but I have been testing software.

I've had the public beta of ColdFusion Builder installed since it came out and after upgrading to Snow Leopard there seems to be no issues at all with ColdFusion Builder.  Well there is one thing I just notice.  Startup of ColdFusion Builder is lightning fast now.  I also fired up my CFEclipse on Eclipse 3.5 installation to compare.

ColdFusion Builder starts in 5 seconds flat and is ready to use after 7 seconds.  CFEclipse took a full 20 seconds to get up and running on the first start.  After shutting it down and restarting it also started in 5 seconds and ready to go in 7 seconds.  Also note that I have the same extra plugins installed in both IDE's; Subclipse, Mylin Bridge, EPIC Perl and Shell ED.  So it looks like everything for me to do my ColdFusion coding is working on Snow Leopard.

Next is to test my ColdFusion 8 install. It runs, but I have to check to see if it is still connected to Apache and if my Apache and hosts file settings are still in tack.

Then onto my PostgreSQL database installed via Mac Ports.

For reference, my MacBook Pro is a 2.2Ghz Intel Core Duo with 4Gb of ram and a 120Gb hard drive.
