    on apples website they say that leopard is going to be availible to preview at WWDC august 7th -11th. Do you think that leopard could be here soon after? Or is it still a winter 06 type thing?

    Still a winter 06 type thing. They'll release it around the same time as Vista probably, maybe at the Macworld Expo right after new years? It's all speculation at this point. As it usually is with Apple.

    Seeing how Apple just had Tiger recently, I don't know what else they 'could' add as features?

    Any possible ideas?

    10.0 March 2001
    10.1 September 2001 ~6 months after 10.0
    10.2 August 2002 ~11 months after 10.1
    10.3 October 2003 ~14 months after 10.2
    10.4 April 2005 ~16 months after 10.3

    Assuming Leopard comes around the new year, that'll be 18 months, the longest of any OS X so far. I wouldn't call that "recently" :) But on the other hand, it does change more often than other OS's, for sure.

    But as far as features go, the main one will almost certainly be integration of Boot Camp. Other than that, who knows? I'm sure they'll think of something though :) We might see something new at the preview in August, but they are bound to save at least some of it for the actual release.

    Ooops I shoulda worded myself better.

    I mean like small version updates. I believe OS X is like 10.4.6 right now, and it came out early this year.
