The elusive Snow Leopard upgrade for Mac OS X is now officially available for pre-order at the Apple Store. It costs $29 and will ship out this Friday. So after all the hoopla last week about whether or not it’ll ship this month or next, the answer is “pretty much this month but maybe by the time it gets to your house it’ll be next month.”

That is all. Please proceed to the Apple Store to buy it. I don’t even have a Mac and I’m going to buy it just to tell everyone I have it. Total street cred, there.
