Apple's Snow Leopard gets bruised in blogs

Cupertino, Calif. -- U.S. computer maverick Apple Inc.'s new operating system Snow Leopard remains a strong seller despite ominous-sounding complaints, records show.

The program has kept its No. 1 spot on Amazon.com software sales since its August 28 release, InformationWeek reported Thursday. But many online reviews are pointing to a system failure that has been given the street-wise nickname, "the spinning wheel of death."

The name refers to a rotating icon that appears on some computer screens when the

"Your Mac may start up to a gray screen after upgrading from Mac OS X v10.5 to Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard," the company said.
