Steve Jobs revealed details on the Mac Snow Leopard OS X 10.6 operating system at 2008 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) today, the same time he announced details on the new iPhone and MobileMe.
"Snow Leopard will be a landmark for Apple, as it's the first version that will not support PowerPCs," says LaptopLogic.com. "In addition, this release will not offer any significant new features or changes; 10.6 is intended mostly to address security issues.
"A demonstration of Snow Leopard will be offered at WWDC later on."
