Adaptec has stated publicly that they will do NO more development or patches for the SnapOS. This came about as soon as Vista was released. They have quit selling any hardware that has SnapOS on it. Hardware that was purchased and is still in warrant or any service contracts will be honored.

So there it is, you can draw you own conclusion. If your running XP (or older) or linux hardware you can pick up some good hardware cheap. It's not the fastest but is usable. For home users it may provide more than enough speed. For a power user NO.
