I just had my macbook upgraded to Snow Leopard as I was running 10.5.8 and it was long past its prime. The shop didn't have discs for photoshop or anything and all the 3rd party apps are all still there. I know they do perform a backup first but I don't know if the apps just stay there during the upgrade, or they reinstall them from the backup.
