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.

If it's truly called "Snow Leopard" I'd bet my left shoe it's a small price service pack type update. But that doesn't feel right, so I think it's all fake. I think 10.6 will be Lion or more likely Cougar, and I think we'll see it in Fall 09.
I do NOT think it will be 64-bit only or deprecate the Carbon UI elements, because that will put a nice wedge between Mobile OS X on non-64-bit iPhones and the core OS.
