Jobs confirms Mac OS X Snow Leopard

updated 01:20 pm EDT, Mon June 9, 2008

Mac OS X Snow Leopard


During his keynote speech for the 2008 WWDC conference, Apple CEO Steve Jobs today confirmed the existence of "Snow Leopard," the next version of Mac OS X. No details have so far been announced publicly, but Jobs explains that developers will get a sneak preview of the OS after lunch at the conference. Snow Leopard has been rumored to be mainly a refinement of existing Leopard features, focusing on speed, stability and security. Other changes, however, are rumored to include the elimination of PowerPC support, resulting in more streamlined code. The OS may also be wrapped entirely in Cocoa, rather than Carbon.

    Snow Leopard

    Oh, oh! The handwriting is on the wall--I'll have to retire my main PPC Mac--G4/500 AGP ungraded to1700MHz. My faithful workhorse for nearly a decade. :-(
