Resolution Independence is absolutely in Leopard, Apple had no less than 5 sessions and has been beating us over the head to use PDF for icons so they scale up well.
With resolution independence it scales up, not down, and it's not a feature that is of any use to you until you have a monitor that is over 200dpi, which will happen in January, and then you will see an option to adjust the resolution independence.
You can change it now with Leopard Developer tools, otherwise it will show up in System Preferences when 200dpi + displays show up.

It's ppi, not dpi.
Right now, there is no information in the promotional materials that says that it's included, when it used to be in at least some of Leopard's promo pages.
Exactly where did you pull that 200 number from? Maybe Apple has decided to place weird restrictions on it, but if it's available to be used with existing displays, it would still be useful.
laying to rest the hopes of certain critics that Steve Jobs somehow failed to deliver upon his assurance that the new system would deliver a variety of other new features Apple was keeping under wraps so that competitors wouldn't copy them before they were released.
I don't think this article lays to rest the criticism that the so-called "Top Secret" features referred to never actually materialised. They didn't ... period. At the time of mentioning them last year SJ made a pretty big deal about them, and there was speculation for a year about what they could be. But essentially the final version of Leopard contains no major features that weren't discussed a year ago. Yeah, plenty of minor tweaks and "under the hood" stuff, but nothing new on the scale of spaces, time machine or coverflow in finder.
I certainly don't believe a bit of visual tweaking and re-organising in System Preferences meets the hype SJ set up for these "Top Secret" features a year ago.
Personally, I'd like to see some more detailed screenshots of the new Network Preferences panel. Looks like they finally changed up the interface there.

OK, now shoot me down in flames.
