WorldWide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2006
Last year, WWDC attendees watched Apple unveil its plan to transition to Intel microprocessors and then headed to the lab to run their code on Intel-based prototype systems. This immediate, hands-on access to the newest Apple technologies happens for developers at WWDC and nowhere else.
WWDC is a conference targeted at professional developers, however, Apple has made a number of significant announcements during the WWDC keynote speech over the past few years. August represents a change for the conference, which has typically taken place in June.
Apple has stated that they will be previewing Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) at WWDC 2006.

Aug 7-11.
That makes a Leopard preview a sure bet in my book (hopefully some without non-disclosures!) and I have visions of Conroe towers too...
Time to go figure out a new trip itinerary... :rolleyes:
(Having said that, we'd better get beta copies of Leopard.)
edit: Maybe they want to time it with the conroe chips?
Hopefully by that time, someone will have found a decent solution to running Windows on Intel Macs so I can get rid of my current AMD PC.
Well, unless something awesome is released on April Fool's Day...
(Other macs will be intro'd before then)
Hopefully that means the 12" & 17" MacBook Pros will be coming out before WWDC.
Or maybe the date is based on when some of the more important UB's will finally be available?
I'm sure these dates are due to some hardware release. Anyone interested in a new Intel PowerMac? Err, uh, Mac Pro? MacTower Pro? MacBox Pro?
Hopefully that means the 12" & 17" MacBook Pros will be coming out before WWDC.
