Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, may only be six months old, but rumours are already abound as to the next update to Apple's operating system. According to severalsources, it's going to be called Snow Leopard, it won't contain any major new features, and is planned to go gold master December 2008, available a month later. The big rumour: it's going to be available for 64bit Intel machines only.

Don't underestimate us,
We Mac users *love* updates.
We even blog about them everytime a minor update appears in Software Update.
If it makes our computer cleaner, easier, simpler and more stable we will pay for it because on a Mac, the more transparent the computer, the better and we can get on with work. This mindset doesn't exist on Windows where you have to battle with your OS constantly, trying to overpower the machine's will. "Hi, I just sent your personal details and bios hash to Microsoft, do you want to restart? No? Okay, I'll just remind you every fifteen minutes with a popup that will catch you out as you type and cause your app to terminate, losing your work"
