Not much news about Leopard, Apple's next version of the Mac OS X operating system. During his keynote, Steve Jobs talked about 10 out of the 300+ new features. You'll find more details on Apple's web site on Leopard, here (all the new features), here (what Jobs presented) or in last year's press release!
Overall, I liked the native 64-bits support, which means that we should see very soon a refresh of the Mac mini line which is still shipping with a 32-bits processor, Bootcamp ("the most compatible and fastest solution to run Windows on a Mac"), Time Machine (an easy to use backup application), and 2 new tools to build widgets for the Mac OS dashboard: one for end-users called the Web Clip tool in Safari, that will turn any web page into a real-time widget that you then can add to the Dashboard; and Dashcode a development environment for professional programmers.

The rest was mainly cosmetic changes to me: new finder, new desktop, workspaces... Pricing-wise, I'm not really happy of forking $129 every other year for just an "update" release of an OS that really should come with the Apple hardware. Isn't it everything about that tight integration between my Mac and the "big cat". In all fairness, Mac OS x/Leopard sure looks cheap when you compare it to... say Microsoft's Windows Vista Home Premium ($160) or Vista Ultimate version ($260)!
