As my colleague Ed Bott pointed out quite clearly, the vast majority of the new features in Apple’s new operating system, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, are hardware dependent.

Word from developers confirms what I had suspected: developers were as surprised as we were to learn Apple was shipping a new operating system on August 30.
