“Mac OS X 10.6 code named Snow Leopard”
Here’s why I don’t believe it:
Snow Leopard is a stupid name, no matter how much sense it might make for the upgrade to be derivative of Leopard (as in, not much, actually)
I don’t see, at this point in the life of OS X (and the life of Windows Vista, as well), Apple releasing a full upgrade that doesn’t present “sellable” new features
Leopard doesn’t need all that much optimizing; OS X performance has already steadily improved release after release
If it’s just an optimization pass over Leopard, and it’s marketed as a subset/variation of Leopard, it would be insane, and insulting, to choose that release as being Intel-only
Yet here’s why I’m not so certain:
It’s very much like Apple to leak this a week early so that we can prepare ourselves and not be too surprised when it’s announced
