Nice comprehensive list of what will and what won't work. http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/

I’ll be testing a few key apps on my MBP before I commit to my main machine. I may buy a 1TB drive to clone the Leopard install just in case.

I'm taking the plunge. For the time being there is nothing I rely on, only a few things that might be a bit annoying if they don't work. But other than that I can wait a few weeks for updates.

Well Snow Leopard screwed my BOINC installation and a reinstall doesn't seem to fix it. Looks like my MBP won't be contributing to scientific research for a little while.
Otherwise no complaints.

I saw a support article by Apple showing you third-party add-ons to use for playing things like AVI files, and other things, but I can't find it now...Any ideas?

I thought the site was broken, the first 2 and half pages were blank! Turns out that it doesn't play nicely if you don't use a full screen browser!  Poor web design  A quick glance at the list seems no problems for me...

Snow Leopard doesn't have the wget command, but it does still have curl It's broken one of my scripts

There's quite a few broken things on that list that I have used; CheckPoint SecureClient Cisco Clean Access Agent CuteFTP DivX DynDNS Updater Electricsheep Google Gears Iomega storage manager (LOL !) HP Deskjet Serenescreen Marine Aquarium MySQL Nikon Software Norton Anti-Virus PGP Disk Encryption Silicon Image eSATA drivers Sophos Anti-Virus Vonage Companion WD Anwhere Backup X-Lite That's more things than broke when I tried upgrading from '95 to W7. It's especially worrying that some of them might be considered critical - namely losing access to all your file storage and the connection to the office. Luckily of course, they're all working just fine in their Windows versions

MySQL should be working... MAMP is classed as working (Mac, Apache, MySQL and PHP), so MySQL on its own should be fine.
Just double checked, MySQL as a separate application isn't even listed on the site. MAMP works, but the designer tools don't - but they were only in beta stage for OS X anyway, so I would expect them to be fixed in the next beta release.

The PHP Install with Snow Leopard has a whole load of new stuff, such as the GD libraries. However, it seems to also throw a lot of “deprecated” errors regarding MySQL calls, and fails to work properly with Joomla! At the moment, all the Joomla! menus on my test install are gone, and I get a lot of errors. I’m using MAMP, which behaves itself.

CuteFTP - I use Filezilla, working fine DivX - Haven't noticed any problems, I'll give it another go when I get home DynDNS Updater - My router does that automatically, so haven't used a client. HP Deskjet - My Deskjet PSC2610 is still printing/scanning MySQL - MAMP was still working, with MySQL on my machine. Just how many different AV programs were you running?!?!
