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.

ZFS works fine on my two year old Dell laptop. You have to remember that Sun is constantly working on improving ZFS, that article is from June 2007 there's been at least 7 upgrades to Pool version of ZFS since then, by time 10.7 comes out there probably going to be a fair bit of revision in ZFS capabilities, that and no doubt the MacBookPro will be native quad core.
