The next version of Mac OS X is code-named "Snow Leopard," as all of you know, and will indeed be Intel-only.Mac OS X Snow Leopard will focus on performance enhancements rather than featuring new apps like in Mac OS X Leopard (10.5).It will be optimized for multi-core processors and enable “breakthrough amounts of RAM.”
"So what new does Snow Leopard has to offer"?
Enhanced Multi-core Processing. No New Eye Candy Features.
Mac OS X Snow Leopard delivers a new generation of core software technologies that will streamline Mac OS X, enhance its performance, and set new standards for quality.It makes the Mac OS X more efficient for users.It's called "Grand Cental" , built into Snow Leopad.
Grand Central takes full advantage by making all of Mac OS X multicore aware and optimizing it for allocating tasks across multiple cores and processors. Grand Central also makes it much easier for developers to create programs that squeeze every last drop of power from multicore Macs.
Apple is laying the foundation for future with Intel processors.They're likely just to tighten-up the OS, make it faster and more secure for users with this os.
64-bit Technology In Mac OS X.
More RAM makes applications run faster, because more of their data can be kept in the very fast physical RAM instead of on the much slower hard disk.
Therefore,Snow Leopard provides the 64-bit technology in Mac OS X to support breakthrough amount of RAM(theoretically estimated 16TB or 500 times more). Apple has a lot of hope with this in the future.
Improved QuickTime X and Safari.
The release will come with a new version of Quicktime that improves media playback QuickTime X, a new version of the multimedia framework optimized for extremely efficient playback and support for modern codecs.
Snow Leopard delivers the fastest implementation of JavaScript to date SquirrelFish, web applications are more responsive. Safari runs JavaScript up to 53 percent faster with Snow Leopard.
The Newcomers!, OpenCL and Microsoft Exchange Support.
OpenCL (Open Computing Language), makes it possible for developers to approaching processing speeds of a trillion operations per second With GPUs.OpenCL takes that power and redirects it for general-purpose computing.
Snow Leopard includes out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange 2007 built into Mail, Address Book, and iCal.
Mac OS X uses the Exchange Web Services protocol to provide access to Exchange Server 2007.
Because Exchange is supported on your Mac and iPhone, you’ll be able to use them anywhere with full access to your email, contacts, and calendar.
Price? Wait Untill...?
Apple has announced that the new Mac OS X Snow Leopard is expected to ship in about a year.By then the Intel Macs will be at least 3 year old. Well there are new updates for the present Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.4.
It will surely not be sold free, but i'd be surprised if they sold it on full price of $129.I think it will be less something like $49-$79. Or even as less as $30.
Should You Transform Form 'Leopard ----> Snow Leopard '?
Well for all the new Mac OS X 10.6 looks like a Windows Service Pack upgrade in PC is here for the Mac OS X 10.5.
But, in my opinion the Snow Leopard has a lot more to offer than it appears. Well it all depends on the marketing strategy of Apple .I hope they make it a little cheap.

Apple should have worked more on providing at least a few New Features
for its Snow Leopard's marketing.
Otherwise why would someone upgrade to it!!
