Apple website Apple Gazette is
reporting rumouring that
Leopard will come with an all-new interface, supposedly with lots of black glossy things (similar to Vista, indeed):
"Apple Gazette has received a tip from an apple insider that the Mac OS Aqua User Interface will be replaced with a new UI named Illuminous. The source goes on to say that we will see a demonstration of Illuminous at Macworld 2007." I have never heard of this website, so I cannot make an assessment of its reliability, but suffices to say that it is highly debatable. Interesting nonetheless.
Update: More info.

The Aqua interface has been around for a while. When it came, it was revolutionary, and over the last few years it has gone through necessary revisions.
I am not surprised that Apple wants to leap ahead Windows Vista and present us with the next generation GUI at this time. It only seems logical. This is good news for future competition!
Somehow Apple seems to always be one step (or five) ahead of Microsoft in the usability department.
