Why does Snow Leopard not work on the latest MacBook Airs?

it is very doubtful that the airs that were recently released with lion preinstalled will support snow leopard. apple products typically do not support versions (or even builds of the same version) ... i don't understand why they do this - it's a .0 release and many applications will have issues working with lion! read more
