Not too long ago Apple released a new build of Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, to select testers. AeroXP now has some screenshots of this new build. They report, for one thing, that even though it is available, ZFS is not actually working in this build. Update: ThinkSecret has more screenshots and an overview.

I'm sorry, but your argument is just silly. It may well be that Apple has some new UI goodies that we won't see till Leopard is released, but please stop taking the absence of a feature that you really want as proof that Apple is hiding something! Let's take an example from a different topic:
It'd be really cool if leprechauns existed. In fact, I've never seen a leprechaun; considering that leprechauns are supposed to be really good at hiding, the fact that I've never seen one must mean they do exist! Yay!
Makes sense? No? I didn't think so.

Your leprechauns argument is silly.
It seems likely that Apple will introduce some UI changes. There is a rumor about Illuminous, so it seems it might be a possiblity. So we're dealing with a possible liklihood.
Compound that with no major changes AND an announcement from Steve Jobs that there are top secret features planned and you end up with something a bit suspicious. I think leaping to the "it COULD mean a new UI" is EASILY within reason.
In this sense, your comment doesn't really jive with the facts, and comes across as smug anyway.

Actually, I'd argue that the LACK of UI changes is proof they have *something* cooking. Otherwise, I'd expect to see a little more unification.
