The announcements made during the Keynote have HUGE implications for Mac-branded computers. The word is convergence - not the phone-meets-pda-meets-ipod-meets-stapler gadget convergence, but core technology convergence, here done in a very impressive 1.0 way.
Consider the technologies Apple has been pursuing (and now merging (some)):
Resolution independent UI
Touch screen
Multi-touch input devices
Multiple avenues of connectivity/"always online"
Intel inside
Mac OS X
Subsets of OS X (AppleTV, iPhone)
How can this NOT affect the Mac platform?
and that is exactly what we saw at Macworld: Leopard. Everyone that saw it didn't realize, it was Leopard, just not labeled such. Leopard in the phone, the TV and soon in your mac. I think Leopard is platform and device independent.
It could be something to do with editing the final version.
For instance removing the scene with Steve standing in front of the burning Zune slide. Could be seen as a little inflamatory.
But it is probably more to do with letting the internet cool down a bit following the keynote.

Well damn, no wonder that after downloading and watching the SteveNote, I didn't feel the full 100% effect of the RDF! No flaming Zune! But when the Zune was mentioned, boy did I crap my pants big time!

I'll add to the whiner thread by saying "WHY DOES IT TAKE HOURS AND HOURS TO UPLOAD THE KEYNOTE ADDRESS!!?? sheesh, that thing should be up by now...
