OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
"Since 2001, Mac OS X has delivered more than a thousand innovative new features. With Snow Leopard, the next major version of the world’s most advanced operating system, Mac OS X changes more than its spots, it changes focus. Taking a break from adding new features, Snow Leopard — scheduled to ship in about a year — builds on Leopard’s enormous innovations by delivering a new generation of core software technologies that will streamline Mac OS X, enhance its performance, and set new standards for quality. Snow Leopard dramatically reduces the footprint of Mac OS X, making it even more efficient for users, and giving them back valuable hard drive space for their music and photos."
"OpenCL
Another powerful Snow Leopard technology, OpenCL (Open Computing Language), makes it possible for developers to efficiently tap the vast gigaflops of computing power currently locked up in the graphics processing unit (GPU). With GPUs approaching processing speeds of a trillion operations per second, they’re capable of considerably more than just drawing pictures. OpenCL takes that power and redirects it for general-purpose computing."

Not true, they demoed it @ WWDC. Also there is the Apple webpage which I linked to in my original post.
Snow Leopard will run faster and more stable than Leopard does, and on the same hardware...that's very impressive.
This is something that Microsoft has yet to do, and I mostly blame that on previous time tables they have laid out for releasing their "next" OS. 5 years, 3 years...with that amount of time, people grow to expect new features. Snow Leopard will focus on improving OS X's security, stability, and speed. |

I have to argue the other side of that. Speed, Security, and Stability are far more important to me than new features, and I would be more than willing to pay full price for it. I see the possibility of a cheaper upgrade option, or a less than $130 option all together as well though.
Either way, I will be getting Snow Leopard eventually and am looking forward to it.
@Staff: If you're going to edit an image with transparency, how about keeping the transparency on the new image so it doesn't look like crap?...thanks |

| So from what I understand, snow leopard is just an upgrade? Im thinking of buying a Mac book soon, so I shouldnt wait and just get the upgrade when it releases since it is just improving performance on current hardware. |

| Also keep in consideration that Snow Leopard is ~ a year away. If you need something now, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a mac with leopard. True, I could have waited half a year and bought a laptop with Leopard pre-installed, but I got plenty of use out of Tiger in the time I used it. |

10.6 is just going to have security updates and a few new features.... if they release it it will either be FREE or a cheap price. if it costs more (like steve likes to do to his followers) it should cost no more than 30$.

They might add a new interface (But no new features) and sell it for more
