Some more details concerning Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard release are trickling onto the web. First of all, as expected, Snow Leopard will include more thorough support for ZFS, but it's reserved for the server releases. In addition to that, printer drivers on Snow Leopard will be delivered on demand, shaving off a few gigabytes of space off a default Mac OS X installation. The drivers will be obtained via Software Update if necessary.

Normally I'd agree with you, but ZFS is more for the server anyway.
Releasing ZFS for the desktop first would be like introducing something like support for more than 16 processors for the desktop where nobody would be using it anyway. "
Read the above posts to see why this isn't true.
Also, with Snow Leapard this might not be true either as programs WILL start using multiple CPU/cores/GPUs.
