Can you give some extra examples, because i thought Windows 7 has this Windows Live search thing baked in, which enables a similar search as spotlight.
Which features does OS X have that Windows 7 doesn't have? And which of these are potential dealbreakers?
Ah, can't wait. The event is at 10 am, right? Oh and is there any place to watch/get updates while the event is actually happening?
I hope Gruber is wrong about Marble. Although a $59 price point for Snow Leopard sounds reasonable. 😉
Unfortunately, he is most likely right. I was hoping for a refreshing UI, but screw it. Wait 5 more years.. or so.
The big deal is I don't want to take around my MBP everywhere! That's like saying why make an electric start engine when people still crank start their cars.
It would be nice if Apple would stop "introducing" features at a turtle's pace and by having you buy each new phone. I should not have to have a 3G to do MMS, EDGE is perfectly capable.

I just don't see Apple shipping a new OS X system without some new UI goodies. It would be good to see Aqua components go from OS X. Maybe Apple won't do a major UI refresh but they might well get rid of the Aqua scroll bars etc. 😕

if the tablet exists and isn't being announced this evening, then i guess that'll be the media event that we see the Return of Jobs at?

I wouldn't know what Schiller would even say about Snow Leopard when he gets on the stage if there's no new UI. Essentially WWDC is the new Macworld for Apple. Is he supposed to go up there and talk about 64-bit support and Grand Central for a half hour? I'm sure the audience will be enthralled with that speech!
It's perfect enough for three OS's! There's like three different UI's in Leopard.
iTunes
GarageBand
Aqua
At some point or another they are going to have to unify this interface. This is part of what Snow Leopard should have been about.
You might be surprised at what enthralls developers! 😉
I agree it would be best if they had new stuff to show off regarding SL, rather than a retread of what everyone has known for a year.

Is there ANY chance SL will add native support for AVCHD files? I am a bit annoyed at how amazingly well they are handled in W7 and Media Player 12. They can be played natively and look incredible, and there are several options for native editing on Windows as well. Any chance here? It's the major thing lacking for me on 10.5.

theeen don't upgrade... but if you love leopard and you have been using Garageband a lot.. i'd say you are going to be used to marble. i'm excited to see what Apple has in store for SL

The title is "John Gruber on WWDC". How does that lead you into thinking he'll be attending? It says nothing about attendance, just that he's speaking about WWDC, that what "someone on something" means in this case.
If it said "John Gruber AT WWDC", that would be different.
As far as Snow Leopard, come on, it's still called LEOPARD because it's not a real update, but just a WHOLE LOT OF BUG FIXES which were sorely needed. It better be cheap or free.
I still can't eject a disk without the window disappearing along with it (even if the window was showing my desktop or any other folder).

Heh. A koolaid strong enough hasn't been invented to make the must ardent fanbois and cultists forget that joke of 300 invisibilities.
Here's my prediction for WWhatever : Unending iPhone blather ad nauseum and still no affordable computers because they are a "bag of hurt" to Apple's huge margins and trillion dollar bank stash. 🙄

I agree that a unified interface would be nice, but I value increased performance etc. much above that. Personally I'm not so annoyed by a few aqua scrollbars. I was more annoyed by Windows e.g. having application and system settings all over the place in stead of in one place in the OS.
Looks are important, but if there is a trade off, then I would favor in performance and reliability.
