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 several sources, 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.

And I've got a Mac Mini that wouldn't be able to run an intel-only OS; but that doesn't make it any less of an already capable machine with an excellent OS. Tiger is still awesome, and Leopard more so - so I don't see the massive worry about some machines not getting the latest (with no new features) OS.
That is, if any of this is true
I'm hard pushed to imagine what new features they could introduce until there's some more shift in the hardware at least another year or two away. This year might be the right year to fit in a maintenance release.
