iWork '07 will no longer be sold as a seperate package, it will be part of iLife '07.
And iLife '07 with iWork included will be part of Leopard, with Front Row 2.0 etc. = "The complete package!!"
This is one I'd love to see. Integrating iLife with iWork would be SWEEEEEET, especially if it still comes packaged with OS X. Definitely takes the whole "works right out of teh box" concept to the next level. 8)
Screw that. Let's hope for a surprise Leopard Release.
What surprise? The Expo is in January. Isn't that when Leopard is supposed to come out?
I'd be surprised if it wasn't released because when else could they announce it?
I think it's way too early to be talking about rumors though. We're talking about 3 months from now. I would hope to see hardware updates long before that.
I know I could be wrong , but I am predicting Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros any day now.
I don't think Core 2 Duo MacBooks will be released until MacWorld SF in January or thereabouts.
First off, Apple is currently not keeping up with demand for MacBooks, why should they increase demand which they can't take full advantage of. If they go up to C2D in the Pro line, it will create a bigger distinction between the lines and will push some people who would otherwise buy a MacBook up to the Pro line. Right now, the MacBook Pro has gone the longest without a significant upgrade. MacBook Pro customers are also much more likely to defer a purchase in order to wait for the latest technology, many people who purchase the MacBooks don't even know the difference between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo anyway and for the most part, those who do and who have to have C2D will move up to the Pro line.
Once they are able to fulfill all MacBook demand and the prices of C2D come down, it will go into the MacBooks. It would be a mistake to raise prices in order to put the C2D into the MacBook as I believe that that would have a greater negative effect than leaving it with the Core Duo.
I guess I should make better use of the [/sarcasm] tag

Especially when they promised a "series of announcements" last month...
How late can Apple pull Leopard out the hat without fear of Microsoft ripping it off wholesale?
If Leopard does have killer new features that Apple are trying to keep mum (like a new interface), then how long would it take Microsoft to copy it and use it in Longhorn?
at the Showtime event. Steve mentioned something about Showtime being the first in a series of product / service releases in coming months. From that, I'm expecting to hear something before Macworld.
We're due for a hand-held consumer related Macworld. Last year the Mac theme was pretty dominant, with almost no mention of anything iPod. My guess: cell phones will be the main topic for 2007...

well i'm no expert, but i hardly think (considering the importance of the release) microsoft would be wanting to be coding new features the day before the release!
seems like if the november/january release dates are met it's getting a bit late in the day for major changes to that turkey

No. Spring.

Or maybe I just seeing things...?
I predict that he will announce that Apple will buy Sun and move all of their software to SPARC.

It's better to take responsibility than to beg permissions.
El Wrongo, it is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.

Definitely at MacWorld:
- Steve will show the TOP SECRET features of Leopard
1) New GUI - bu bye Aqua
2) New Finder - bu bye beach ball
3) FrontRow 2.0 (almost identical to iTV interface)
4) Earth (Google Earth with an Apple twist)
5) ???
- Leopard's ship date will be announced -> February 27th
- iLife '07
- iWork '07
- iTV will be unveiled and available for purchase immediately.
- more studios onboard for iTunes movies
One More Thing... iPhone(s)
Don't expect any more than that.
That is more than enough for 1 keynote.
