Apple Job Posting Suggests 'Revolutionary' New Mac OS X Feature

Can't wait for 10.7. I'm already getting kind of bored of 10.6 and I just got my Mac two weeks ago. I want 10.7 to be big though. Not something minor like 10.6. I also want to be able to run it as smoothly as 10.6. 
This is nothing more then an HR recruiter getting a little excited about writing a job description. I would not read much into it.
Lets say that they are going to integrate iOS into Mac OS X. How much 21" or 27" touch panel would cost?
I am curious as to the lack of a developer beta release. Up until now, Apple has released beta versions of OS X on a regular basis. Along with the rumor of OS X becoming iOS X, it seems Apple is becoming more interested in mobile OS's. A cloud based OS? Hmmmm.

Let me get this straight, how do you get bored by an Operating System?
Touch has already been done. The ad says something that's never been done before.
It seems like when Apple goes to implement some new amazing feature, that they would just hire internally, and fill the old "known" positions with outside people.
Unless they hope to hire some sort of really amazing talent from outside using that lure? Still...

Everything Apple does is revolutionary. I'm still excited, but the buzz-word gets old.
How about, make an OS that is fully compatible with Windows programs, so you don't have to flip to boot camp or fusion or parallels every time you need to use something that requires Windows. Whenever someone is looking for a new computer, I tell them to get a Mac because I truly think its better. Then I have to explain that not everything is compatible, Office costs more on a Mac, and if you want to run programs built for Windows you have to pay around $50 for an emulator and up to $100 for a copy of Windows to run on it, on top of the higher cost of the Mac.
Being able to install software meant for Windows on a Mac with no other cost would be truly revolutionary. I know next to nothing about programming, though, so others will have to tell me how stupid this is.

Wouldn't need to touch the core OS.
This feature would just be added to iTunes
Am I missing something. Pageup/pagedown??? I thought they always worked. Of course my keyboards don't have the keys so I use fn-UP Arrow and fn-Dwn Arrow
Please no, if you want Windows just use Windows 7 it is not that bad.
That could be useful but hardly exciting and involving the core OS since many 3rd party application uninstallers exist.
Already there.
CleanMyMac is the best one I've used. It can be fine tuned to deleted universal binaries, extraneous files left over from uninstalled apps (.plist's, preference panes, receipts, etc), deletes user defined unnecessary application languages, manages plugins, etc. I've deleted about 10 GB's of my OS from streamlining it, and app's run faster (Safari IS snappier).
Why not? The could then name it...
..tadaaaaaaa...
CLOUDED LEOPARD
On a more serious note, Clouded Leopards are really cool cats and have the longest Canine relative to the skull known. They look kind of cool...
...I'd take Clouded Leopard as a cool name. Tiger or Lion just seems so...BORING.
Maybe they fix Spotlight with this one and include Web-Search in it.
the computer now can know what you are thinking and it will perform all tasks by u just thinking it this is the new iThink. And then it can also help You think with the same comadibility reversed.
iOS sidebar
Perhaps iOS will become a sidebar in OS X (rather than a dashboard) that way you can use your computer while at the same time us iOS apps.
