Core i7 minimum requirements for pro apps
Well remember the pro apps (Aperture, Final Cut Pro, Logic, Photoshop) are all going to be updated this year, and they you are going to need a Core i7 (and Snow Leopard) to run them anyway near their full potential.
So I would say that the Core i7 is going to be the minimum requirement for Snow Leopard in 12 months time.

So am I to believe my iMac purchased in December won't be able to run Snow Leopard? Come come now

Wow, that seems like a lot of known issues!

Erm, no.
They might be optimised to run 64-bit, but most recent hardware is able to do this, I can assure you that i7 won't be a requirement for those packages.
Core i7 = 64bit, but so is Core2Duo as well!

I highly doubt this. Here are some of my reasons:
1) People are already making a big fuss about how it's supposedly dropping PowerPC support
2) Only the Mac Pro has Nehalem right now so Apple will already obsolete most of their computers
3) I don't think Snow Leopard is 12 months away. Release date is probably not even half that. And Apple won't make it a system requirement at a 10.6.x update. Dropping support for a processor will have to be a much larger update 10.x update.
ANyways, on AppleInsider, it says Snow Leopard will have text Autocorrect like on the iPhone. Sounds cool, but I really hope there's a way to turn it off. Knowing how I type, that thing will come up often with the wrong word. I don't want to have to close that bubble thing frequently.
hmmm
I think Apple would try to release it before September 09, when in June it will be fully presented.
People asking why it looks the same? Apple already made all graphical changes, but it will be applied only to the Gold Master, visual things don't need to be seen by Developers.

Oh, I thought he meant to be a seed tester. I am not an ADC member and I was invited.
The QuickTime with a "minimal UI" and "focused on playback" makes me think they're dropping export capability. So they aren't bringing the previously for pay "Pro" features of QT to the masses, they're just dropping that line of revenue. Probably as a push towards iMovie. Presumably the API calls will still be accessible as before and simple 3rd party apps will continue to fill this use.
The new Quicktime is quite minimal, but I don't really like it.
Imagine a window that is exactly the size of the video and has no borders or title bar or anything unless you put your mouse over it. The title bar is black and transparent, the red/yellow/green buttons look slightly larger than they should be.
When you hover over with your mouse, the on-screen controls show up like in fullscreen.
I think it's ugly, they could have done a way better job.
Possibly correct. File > Export and Export for Web are not in this version of Quicktime. I don't know whether or not they plan to put it in, but there is no Quicktime preference pane in System Preferences.

This stuff about the i7 is non-sense. Of course software runs "to it's full potential" on the faster processors.... but Snow Leopard is about more than that.
Utter, complete nonsense. You have no idea what you are talking about. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but being subtle isn't going to help here.
You are wrong.
So essentially it seems to be taking the design from Quicklook forward into Quicktime(?) except more hidden and minimal.
That is not good. I have been using Quicktime Pro for a long time now, it is just so good for quick changes and things like that. Guess we will have to see how everything falls when the dust settles.
It's less than Quicklook. The window is quite literally just the video with rounded top corners to make it conform with the "window shape" of everything else.
I would just take a screenshot and post it, but I'm at work and my installation of the current seed of Snow Leopard is on my external harddrive at home. If no one posts a screenie before I get home, I'll certainly will.
