Apple has release an online document outlining the incompatible software with the new Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Summary

Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard is designed to protect your Mac from certain incompatible software that can quit unexpectedly or cause other issues in Mac OS X v10.6.

When you install Snow Leopard or migrate to Snow Leopard, known-incompatible software is moved to a folder named Incompatible Software on your hard drive.

Snow Leopard also prevents known-incompatible software from opening. If you see an “Incompatible software” message, contact the software’s vendor or visit their website for a later, compatible version.

Go check out http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3258 for more detailed information of these incompatibilities.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard, due to be released on Friday, may contain an unannounced Antivirus feature.

According to an Intego report, We’re not sure yet exactly how this works, but the above screen shot shows this feature working with a download made via Safari, detecting a version of the RSPlug Trojan horse in a downloaded disk image.

This discovery comes just as Apple released a new Get A Mac ad criticizing the amount of viruses found in Windows.
