No word on what notable changes (if any) it brings. Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is the next major Mac OS X release to come from Apple. It is expected to bring many "under the hood" changes that could significantly improve overall performance across multi-core Macs.Snow Leopard will ship in September and will cost $29 for current Mac OS X 10.5 owners.

The update is 1.31GB, through Software Update, & I don't know personally what physical, in your face updates it brings, as its currently downloading.
Updates:
- Third party System Preference panes now work
- New list view in the Dock
- Quicktime Version 10.0 (42)
- Battery on notebooks improved.
- Safari is snappier (really!)
- Overall system performance boost.

I wonder what new features it has for developers and users alike.
Care to illustrate us more what else it brings? Check for QuickTime updates.

What are the chances of seeing the new "Marble" interface in Snow Leopard? It is really a little sad that they have half-way ousted aqua for quite a long time now without fully replacing it with something uniform and consistent. :( Everything new they do from iLife to iWork to MobileMe to the iPhone etc. all use what I would say is the "Marble" interface. So why such a delay in Mac OS X? Is it really that much work to reskin? Would they possibly do it in a point update after Snow Leopard is out? :confused:

Well seeing as the update is 1.31GB it might be in this version, however I wont know till it downloads and I am on a very bad connection at the moment.

Yeah, it's going horribly slow over here as well. Someone's bound to be finished soon, and we'll know everything before long, I suspect. Counting on no new UI, though.

MacFly123 - I'm 100% certain there will be UI changes. It's not something Apple would through in randomly last minute (but I could be wrong).
The reason, as someone mentioned before, is perhaps PPC Mac users may feel left out on the upgrade, therefore Apple would not offer a new UI to make it a soft blow. It's similiar with GM and their method of releasing cars with newer color options (they don't want a the two year old purchaser to feel cheated).
