Default Snow Leopard - what does not work

As Markus asked the other day, things that don't work on Snow Leopard.

1) DHCP/Aiport is a disaster zone - not on all network configurations, but some with multple access points kill it dead. Errors include connecting and then losing the IP address. Connecting with no IP address (even with repeated Renew Lease), connecting manually with a reserved IP address - still no internet traffic; or the most annoying connecting with a self-assigned IP address.

2) Parallels 5.0 (the Snow Leopard release) is less stable than 3.0 or 4.0, particularly when initiating the VM, particularly when using SmartSelect which automatically links Office documents to Office applications in the VM.

3) Many earlier mobile broadband dongles don't work and can only be enabled with hand crafted drivers.

4) Google Chrome for Mac cannot pick up fonts in SL. It works with Leopard.

These are the obvious ones to me and Google searches would indicate I am not alone.
