Snow Leopard Screenshots Show Little New
Over the holiday weekend, some screenshots and video of the developer release of Snow Leopard were posted to a German site.
Overall, the images show little new from the WWDC build originally released back in July, but may be of interest to some readers. By its nature, Snow Leopard will have little in the way of visual changes and most of the improvements are said to be "under the hood". New Apple technologies such as Grand Central and Open CL will allow developers to easily tap into multi-core CPUs and GPUs that reside in most Macs.
Apple is expected to update the Mac mini and iMac to incorporate the latest NVIDIA GPUs. In doing so, they will enable all shipping Macs to take advantage of many of the benefits of Snow Leopard. Apple is rumored to be showing Snow Leopard at Macworld Expo which kicks off on January 5th.

Obligatory "I want ZFS standard and resolution independence" post.
Is this news, really? Hopefully this 32-bit compatibility mode will be dead before launch...

Fingers crossed for the nVidia 9400GM in an updated Mac mini.
Pretty much a lock given the leaked code we've seen.

Apple could just be keeping things a little close to the vest and not distributing builds to devs with features that they don't want to be leaked. Look what they did with Leopard.
Who knows?

Snow Leopard Screenshots Show Little New
Um... isn't that the point of Snow Leopard? Little new changes that are visible, but big changes that aren't?

I'm not a developer and my computer runs very fast already. Apple is going to have to do a lot more than that to convince me to upgrade.

This is hardly shocking or even news worthy.
Then don't upgrade. Jeesh.

Why is this on page 1?
I think the 10a222 developer release has already been discussed a lot, and that this build is far from finalised seems logic.
More of a "move along, nothing to see here", IMHO.
If there is something new to be seen in Snow Leopard, we'll see it @ MWSF... even if Schiller is going to demo it (I just cannot get used to the idea... I'm sorry).
The dev builds following MWSF will give us plenty of screenshots and movies to play around with. ;)

To my understanding. Snow Leopard is not really anything special for the everyday consumer. What it will do is fix a lot of security issues the Leopard has that everyday consumers don't know about but ppl in the IT industry do.
