"Snow Leopard" is No Leopard

So apparently Mac is going to do something a bit different with it's new OS. They are going to optimize it. At first though this seems like a cheap trick but when you think about it it, that is pretty freggin awesome. They want to take a pretty awesome OS and make it run better and they are saying that right out of the gate. They are telling we fan boys to back off with the new features and just make it run like a Ford Festiva with a V8 in it. Snow Leopard unfortunately will not ship for another year but I am cautiously optimistic!

Here is Apple's Official Word-

Since 2001, Mac OS X has delivered more than a thousand innovative new features. With Snow Leopard, the next major version of the world’s most advanced operating system, Mac OS X changes more than its spots, it changes focus. Taking a break from adding new features, Snow Leopard — scheduled to ship in about a year — builds on Leopard’s enormous innovations by delivering a new generation of core software technologies that will streamline Mac OS X, enhance its performance, and set new standards for quality. Snow Leopard dramatically reduces the footprint of Mac OS X, making it even more efficient for users, and giving them back valuable hard drive space for their music and photos.
