gizaAnd I'm talking about OS/X Leopard, due out next Spring. Here are some pictures of their banners from the WWDC. (Originally seen at http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/07/apple-mac-pro-hands-on/ and http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/07/live-from-wwdc-2006-steve-jobs-keynote/)
One new feature of Leopard is "Time Machine", also known as "rsync with a graphical front end". It offers version control, the ability to "go back in time", and the ability to automatically store data offsite on a central server. It looks pretty cool, and I'm glad that there's finally going to be version control integrated with the OS.
"Spaces", also known as "virtual desktops" for those who have used X Windows is another UNIX tradition that I'm glad to see in OS/X.
Woo!

2. I haven't seen anything yet, but I'll bet TimeMachine integration with apps (like iPhoto) requires an SDK. (As opposed to the simple file retrieval in the Finder.) If so, Apple will put that SDK in the hands of the developers with their Leopard Preview disks. That's so applications can support those features at OS launch.
