Any distortion or weirdness is a result of the little point and shoot used.
A) What monitor is that?
B) What are the new APIs like? How easy is Grand Central to use when developing multithreaded applications?

Only if you have the lights on when you are looking at the picture
. Good spot though.
this is by far the best part of 10.6
even though i dont even have access to an Exchange server this is a pretty sweet feature.
the combination of iPhone 2.0 and Snow Leopard will appeal enormously to businesses who use Exchange servers to push to PCs and Blackberrys.
For people to get it on torrent sites and run it at home is one thing, but to post screen shots is another. Don't get me wrong, I like seeing the screen shots, I just don't want to be the person posting them.
Too bad it only works in Exchange 2007. My company is still running Exchange 2003, so I guess I'll be able to use this feature in about 2012 (assuming they updated Exchange by then)
The options for a Mail account include Exchange 2003 and 2007.
Eh, there's definitely a lot being torn up under the hood. Half the (announced) purpose of Snow Leopard is to build a foundation for future releases.
The icing on the cake would be if iChat in OS X 10.6 supported connections to MS Office Communicator as many companies (mine included) have deployed MS Office Communicator Server as their chat, presence and collaboration server.
With MS OCS support in iChat I would have a strong argument to push for purchasing Mac hardware in the corporate environment.

they could always use bonjour messaging in iChat which comes with every Mac. not sure how good it is though as ive never used it.
Its not just a beta, its a developer preview so the only real benefit is if you intend to develop applications that use Grand central. Polishing won't begin for months.
Not even just a developer preview... a pre-normal-developer preview gift for those who bothered to actually show up @ the WWDC!
Firefox 3, to be precise. I hate that theme. I installed the GrDelicious Apple theme and it looks like Safari now
Thanks for the tip Taylor! That huge button is just ridiculous, that theme makes firefox usable again.
As for snow leopard I'm mostly looking forward to the core-optimization and the OS shrinking! Being intel only, we no longer have to carry all that PowerPC code on our drives.

Thats exactly what I thought, a rare bone was tossed...
Just reminded myself how nasty firefox looks when I reinstalled it. What were they thinking?
If anyone cares, VMWare Fusion 2, Beta 2 works in Snow Leopard now.
And MacBook Air users who are suffering from Core Shutdowns, thats actually fixed (at least from what I've noticed) in Snow Leopard ( I have yet to get a core shutdown even with heavy processing apps and dual screen)
