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.

Awesome! I did not know about Xslimmer I just gave it a try and it reports that "3.57G" (PowerPC and non-English languages) can be slimmed out of the 11.9G of executables on my Leopard install.
I wish Leopard did this by default. Trimming away architectures and languages that are not my preference as I install applications.
Heck, the Leopard install image may even fit in a single layer DVD if it was custom made for Intel "only."
