Illuminating Leopard
Over on the homepage mockups thread, I chose Leopard as the main feature on my post-keynote design of Apple.com, purely because it's the upcoming Apple product that interests me the most. Certainly there are a lot of potential hints to Illuminous, the rumoured new UI - not least in the teaser image still being deciphered on this forum. But despite this, there only seems to be one thread on AI that specifically focusses on such changes in the next version of OS X, and we most certainly need one in the Temporary Insanity forum. The UI-specific discussion seemed to phase out after a while on the other Leopard thread, so let's revive it here! Will Apple literally shed light on Leopard tomorrow?
Update: Ars Technica have become the first to cite both Illuminous and the concept of an updated Leopard UI in the pre-Macworld coverage, featuring both on their keynote bingo card.

Seriously, if someone does win BINGO at the Keynote, I would love for them to stand up and yell it at the top of their lungs. That would be absolutly priceless.
BTW, is anyone else going to be playing that day??

I think Leopard is the one product I'm most interested in. 'X' drives everything Apple does. It's at the heart of everything. Most likely their mobile strategies also. I sincerely hope their is a new gui to counter the lip stick of paint Xp got over in Vista... I think the Leopard promo pages at Apple's website give clues...
That and an 8-core Mac and I'm sure I'd be quite happy.
(with updated displays of course...)
The phone stuff is still exciting to a degree or an iPod widescreen...if only because it will help drive Apple's Mac stuff ever higher.

Hmm.. but would Apple/Steve present something like an 8-core-Mac at MWSF? Over the recent years there's been sortof a tendency to make 'Pro' announcements (and the 8-core would definitely go into the Mac Pro first) at the WWDC, hasn't it?
It seems to me that all this is just an updated and spiffed up version of the NeXTSTEP interface..
