I had to download the update from here, rather than from within the app itself, a feature I certainly appreciate when it works.
Note: Some features don't apply to Snow Leopard - Version: 3.3.6, 9/20/2009 09:44PM PST

I've been playing with this version of MacPilot in Snow Leopard and found that a few features do not apply, just so no one is surprised. Nothing blows up, no problems are caused that I can find.
What I found does not apply:
Tools: General: Features: Install Disk Images Preferences Pane
Tools: General: Files & Folders: Extract...

"While it may launch on 10.4, we cannot guarantee compatibility for features. Some may or may not work, however none should remotely cause your system to become corrupt. We will post a final version for 10.4 in the near future. We've only just changed the requirements as we're dropping 10.4 shortly."
