Mac OS X 10.6 at WWDC?
Today the rumor mills were abuzz with the rumor that Mac OS X 10.6 would be unveiled at WWDC next week. The rumor has it that it's named Snow Leopard which is a slick name, if it's true, and they also say that it's an infrastructural release - no new features visible to the user other than the removal of PowerPC support and therefore better optimization of the Intel-only release.
While I suppose it's possible that Steve will talk about OS X, I have to wonder where these guys get all this stuff. If you look at what Steve is supposed to talk about at the keynote it's pretty significant:
- iPhone 3G
- New .Mac
- Updates to MacBook Pro
- Mac OS X 10.6
I mean it's possible, but that's a pretty full plate given that some of these things have taken the majority of a keynote all on their own. Sure, a lot of them can be brushed over a bit, but to have all this in one talk seems like a bit of a stretch. I'll certainly be listening, however.
