At the WWDC 2008 keynote and of course other than the mentioned Apple iPhone 3G by Steve Jobs and Co the other big news was that of next iteration of OS X, recent releases have given us an insight of what to expect from Snow Leopard. You must all remember that the new OS is not going to be shipped until about this time next year, maybe earlier or possibly later, but at least we all know its coming.

The Apple OS X will be more revolutionary and evolutionary; it will indeed enhance the performance of OS X and set a new standard for quality, where it will focus mainly on new features. The real good news is that it will play nicely with Microsoft Exchange 2007 from the get-go, provide “unrivaled support for multi-core processors” with a new technology dubbed Grand Central, extend support “for modern hardware with Open Computing Language (OpenCL),” and raise the software limit on system memory up to a theoretical 16TB of RAM. Maybe you’ll even find QuickTime X in there.

Looks like some more solid info has been posted to Apple’s page. Visit these two links here provided for you for more on Snow Leopard desktop and Snow Leopard server (which will include iCal Server 2, 128-bit ZFS support, Podcast Producer 2, the first version of their Address Book server based on CardDAV, and more).
