OS X Snow Leopard: It’s All About Speed

[Axemantitan]

First bits and pieces of information about Apple’s next Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" and it seems that Apple maintains a pace to unveil a working beta at the Macworld Expo in January 2009. We decided it is time to make a quick pit-stop to summarize what we know and look at Apple’s direction: There won’t be many new features, but there will be enough improvements to make this OS an important update: It will include a new Finder and Exchange support, image file boot capability, Grand Central, 64-bit and OpenCL support for speed improvements.

All this talk about lack of features seems to be kind of misleading. I think Exchange support and the grand central concept are going to to be huge features.

Agreed, but I don't think the general consumer will really get the benefit of the under-the-hood improvements until programs that take advantage of it are out, probably around when 10.7 comes out.
