Leopard Details? [Updated: Fake x 2?]

PowerPage posted what they claim to be Mac OS 10.5 Leopard information, but the same information was sent anonymously to MacRumors earlier this week, along with the screenshots. Updates are claimed to be as follows:

Spotlight 2.0
Dashboard 2.0
Safari 3.0
iChat 4.0
Automator 2.0
QuickTime 7.2
Mail 3.0
iCal 3.0
Address Book 5.0

The same images were posted to the MacRumors forum this morning, but were felt to be fake by readers.

Update: For various reasons, MacRumors and our readers have many doubts about the authenticity of the screenshots. Due to the rising skepticism, readers should be aware that our Page 2 post regarding Steve Jobs' keynote details was from the same source that sent the photographs, which thus casts doubt on the claims made in that post.

It goes like this. A friend of mine is a dev over at apple. And over the last 3 weeks I have been endlessly asking him to give me some juicy details about leopard. (PPC OS software dev) Instead of giving me details he has given me links. Now he could be pulling my leg, but they seem quite authentic to me.






And again, apparently, the icons in the dashboard images for chat, browser, gallery and mail are placeholders, the new icons havnt been finished yet. And also that the new spotlight has only been finished entirely on the intel version, and that that will be the version they preview at WWDC, so the new interface and flashy animations, and new file previews arn't in these images.

But anyways, I hope he's telling the truth and I hope they arn't fake!

Fake or not, his taste in music is awesome. I'm listening to Muse right now, actually.

Not that I don't like your opinion, but if your going to say that, could you at least supply a reason?

I officially retract my statement. I do, however, agree with the fake comment. It just... wow.

Doesn't really have OSX's signature 'finished' look to it. :(

It also just looks like a bad Photoshop job with some Uno thrown in to make the menus darker.

Jeez, with this kind of stuff being thrown at us, maybe MR should have a "Photoshop your own fake Leopard screens" contest.

honestly no apple dev would use Azureus to download disks of tiger, panther and 9.2.2 from the pirate bay (TPB), at least the screenshots could have had a 10.5 torrent. Plus that IE in the dock... sure... whatever... looks like photoshop and uno.

OS 9 in Leopard? I would have figured classic wasn't going to make the cut for Leopard.
