The application performance, however, is slightly slower than it is with Leopard, at least on the MacBook Pro we used as our test machine. As the OS is now a pure 64-bit operating system, expect the application performance to improve over Leopard as you add RAM or use it with a high-end desktop. Mac users can read more about Snow Leopard in my colleague Jason Parker's full review.

The utility will then create a new partition for the installation of Windows.
