“Pre-orders for Apple’s upcoming Snow Leopard operating system topped Amazon.com’s bestseller list yesterday, knocking Windows 7 out of the chart just days after the online retail giant put Mac OS X 10.6 on its site,” Gregg Keizer reports for PC Advisor.

“Late yesterday Snow Leopard and the Snow Leopard Family Pack were ranked number 1 and number 2, respectively, on Amazon’s software sales chart. The Family Pack provides licences for five Macs,” Keizer reports. “Apple won’t release the new operating system until September, a fact that Amazon made sure to remind customers.”

Keizer reports, “Although Windows 7, also slated for a autumn release, had grabbed the lead spot on Amazon’s software bestseller list when two editions were heavily discounted during a two-week sale earlier this summer, Microsoft’s new OS was absent from the chart yesterday.”
