"_Mac OS X 10.6 code named Snow Leopard

“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

Agreeing only with the stupidity of the name.

Please respect this beautiful and noble endangered species.

And btw, after having migrated to Leopard since its release, I really regret Tiger.
I loved this beast and find it less buggy than Leopard.

But still, this is just my impression of the beast.

Love.
