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.
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"
Thanks for the ridiculous broad generalization about Windows and its users. We'll continue to hold our broad generalizations and stereotypes about Mac users as well. How do you like your overpriced hardware, anyway?
