Rumors are that Apple will be showing its new OS at next month’s Macworld, and that it has a few surprises up its sleeve.
The word is that Snow Leopard, as it’s currently known, will ship earlier than expected, well before Microsoft releases Windows 7. But the bigger surprises will not be on obvious view.
The Guardian reports that Snow Leopard is likely to contain a pair of technologies that will speed up software without needing any hardware changes. The first, called Grand Central, will make better use of the Intel processors the current range of Macs are sporting.
