At ladt night's MacWorld keynote, Apple's last, one product in particular shone in absense: Mac OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard. Many had expected Apple to give out more details regarding its new operating system, maybe even a release date or a developer preview. Instead, all they got was nothing. Some say it's a mistake not to show off Snow Leopard now that Windows 7 is stealing all the thunder. Or is it?

I think your right in the respect that there is nothing to 'show' at a show like macworld (as far as I understand there is going to be little in the way of top level 'bling')
Macworld is a consumer show
Releasing a developer preview, in my view, would be 100% in apple's interest. The developers need to start using the new toys in snow leopard so they have apps ready for when it launches.
As a cunsumer, with no viable 'bling' changes to the OS why would I upgrade unless there are some big apps that need and take advantage of it? (ala photoshop)
