I have no idea -- seriously, NO IDEA -- what the people in the early part of this thread are talking about. Bought SL on day one, installed it on day one, NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER since day one.

I have to date assisted well over 300 clients in moving to Snow Leopard. NO ISSUES AT ALL.

Ditto here on my end. Not one issue.

Only real issues I have heard about that are valid issues were with some 3rd party apps that were not SL compatible. Those have long since been updated.

Same here, not issues. However, I did a clean install and not an upgrade to the previous OS. I wonder if the upgrade is what is causing some heartache?

OS X Vista? Wow, someone's a drama queen. The minor annoyances you have faced as a result of upgrading within the first 2 revisions of an OS are things that require power users to find and report. Stop acting like Apple made you skin your knee and you want your old OS back. It's called progress.

I need to resurrect this post.
Since upgrading to 10.6.2 I've been having problems accessing my Time Machine backup disk (Freecom Firewire Pro), in that as soon as my mac goes to sleep so does my drive. Now it won't recognise this drive at all, so cannot access my backup.

Coupled with my Finder thumbnail issues (posted here a few days ago), I need to get back to a proper working OS asap without risk to my data.

So is there anyway to get back to 10.5 without a clean install?
