Mac OS X Thanks to Ars Technica, we've got some Snow Leopard goodness for you. As always, Apple is quite secretive about its upcoming operating system, so even though test builds are released every now and then, information is scarce. An Ars reader has given some more insights into the latest Snow Leopard build, released on Friday.

That sounds pretty flexible. But don't apps essentially have to be written with a certain 'class' of services to expose and consume in mind? What I'm asking is, how does the LaTeX editor know what interface to expose to TextEdit (and vice-versa)? What's the difference between NeXTSTEP Services and OLE? (Based on the dates of things, it would seem that the NeXT version came first).

Yes: Services predates OLE considerably, not to mention so does Distributed Objects and NEXT PDO [Portable Distributed Objects].
