I like the clean white and grey design in this article, but then why is Amazon using this box art advertising the upcoming release? And a blue design for 10.6 Server?
Leads me to think that the Apple Insider post is a fan mock up.
Thank you! I think people missed this picture because you didn't enclose it in IMG tags.
@codymr,
Amazon's just using Apple's placeholder boxart, which you can see here and here.
Lastly, for everyone who keeps saying you'll need Leopard to install Snow Leopard, that appears to be untrue:

That's really cool, how did you see the GPS stuff ?

How do I know this information? I found this photos here:
Download the full photos and see the details.. you will see the GPS coordinates and was taken on iPhone.. lol...
By the way, other think that proof this photos was not taken in Portugal is the Keyboard of the Macbook, dont have some special characters like "Ç" where is placed the regular english keyboard the character ";"
I see your point, but if the purple or blue variant of 10.5 is not the official box art for 10.6, wouldn't Amazon just use their "Image Not Available" place holder like they do with music or DVDs etc. As far as I know they don't use temp art or early mock up images for those products. This does not pass the smell test.
[QUOTE=codymr;1466327]The 3 columns on the back of the box are not evenly spaced. If it is real, then that is bad design.
Totally agree with you.. i notice that too...
Im really hoping to this one be a fake.. im watching over and over and over and I work as a designer, so Im always inspired by Apple, and see this design I dont see any "Apple touch design" ... the kind of design that we have absolute sure .. "this is an Apple product"..
some people complain about the space theme, etc.. but when I see that packaging, even not be the tradicional white packaging... i can tell that have the special "apple touch" ...fresh.. and clean... and colors very well balanced

Amazon has removed images of both Snow Leopard and Snow Leopard Server from their pre-order pages so it leads me to think it might be the real deal, though I really hope not.
From my point of view I dont thinks this is Real... its just a very well done FAKE...
I think is fake because dont have the touch of apple designers... at all...

Heheheh. I thought it was a fake when I saw the installer icon. Now I'm thinking it's actually the real deal. It's growing on me though, I do have a soft spot for the big cats.
Quine?s argument is like saying that it?s okay to download the DVD of an unreleased movie so long as you plan to buy it when the DVD is out, or to grab the CD prerelease of a musician so long as you plan to buy it when it comes out. I don?t think the courts would buy that argument.

They are using their 'No image available' placeholder:

Snowball.
Good name
Snowball the OS X Snow Leopard
...
Yeah I know about the general whinning that not much has changed interface wise...
Dave
Not much has changed except to throw even more interface styles into the already overflowing mix.
I love Apple, and I prefer OS X to Windows, but admit it, the thing is the poster child for how NOT to adhere to your own interface guidelines.
soooo lame. just as somebody else said - so un-apple
Weird... Doesn't look good. Looks very un-Apple..?
Couldn't disagree more.
Ireland. Quite. Normis and Palegolas clearly weren't buying Apple products around 2003...
I really like the design but the fact that this looks like an old design to those of us who've been with the company for a while makes me doubt them.

Actaully, OS X's look still seems rather understated and coherent to me.
What inconsistencies are you referring to?

When I found that, i saw on the photo proprieties, details of Windows 7...
But on iPhoto you can see with geotagging
