Since 2001, Mac OS X has delivered more than a thousand innovative new features. With Snow Leopard, the next major version of the worlds most advanced operating system, Mac OS X changes more than its spots, it changes focus. Taking a break from adding new features, Snow Leopard scheduled to ship in about a year builds on Leopards enormous innovations by delivering a new generation of core software technologies that will streamline Mac OS X, enhance its performance, and set new standards for quality. Snow Leopard dramatically reduces the footprint of Mac OS X, making it even more efficient for users, and giving them back valuable hard drive space for their music and photos.
