Apple Seeds Snow Leopard 10A190 (Mac OS X 10.6) to Developers
Apple has seeded a new version of Snow Leopard (Build 10A190) to developers this morning. Last night they had emailed ADC members that a preview build of Snow Leopard was made available to them, but the download links were not live until this morning.
Snow Leopard is the codename for the next major revision of Mac OS X. Apple has said that they would be focusing on quality and performance in Snow Leopard. In particular, Apple has made it clear that there will be efforts to improve support for multi-core processors and GPU processing. These improvements will help developers more efficiently use these capabilities that already ship in Macs.
Update: Seed Notes reveal some changes including Multicore enhancements and partially rewritten Cocoa Finder.

Anyone testing this yet? 8GB ram? GPU switching on the fly?
Ah the perks of ADC...;-)

I'm really looking forward to seeing how much this will improve the usage of my processors... and maybe even things having to do with something Blu?

Shot in the dark, but does anyone have a good guesstimate when 10.6 will be released?

Total guess: 7-8 months? That would make it 18 months after Leopard was released.

Actually I can't wait for the Mac Pro get boosted!
Any idea about when it will happen?
Can't imagine what it'd be able to do with multiple CPUs and multiple GPUs (knowing that it already is so powerful)!

I agree with this, January is too early for a stable release in my opinion, but June (WWDC) pins it about right.

Thanks for the update.
Looking forward to seeing what developers find after having some time to dig into it. The 8gb support question is obviously going to be on many people's mind (for both generation MBP), as well as possible enabling on the fly switching of GPUs on the fly.
