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?

The plan:
Intro SL DP at WWDC '08. Intro SL RTM WWDC '09.
Always has been.
Macworld has always been a retail consumer oriented show for years. The real OS fun always comes with WWDC. Wilcox is just shilling for Microsoft because they have nothing in the way of really new product to show now that can currently compete with Apple to generate 'buzz'. Oh, and releasing a beta of your next flagship product to P2P networks is just plain stupid; it generated about one hour of 'buzz'. Because Wilcox has nothing else to do but try to fault Apple for Microsoft's gain, he brings up the old, trite, argument that PCs cost less than Macs again. Spec-for-spec, Apple delivers better value at equal or lower cost then any of the other large PC vendors. We've all been over this before except Wilcox probably wasn't paying attention.
