Apple Executives to Preview Mac OS X “Leopard” at WWDC 2006 Keynote

Apple PR:

Apple today announced that CEO Steve Jobs will headline a team of Apple executives, including Philip Schiller, senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing; Bertrand Serlet, senior vice president of Software Engineering; and Scott Forstall, vice president of Platform Experience, to kick off the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote preview of Mac OS X "Leopard" on Monday, August 7, 2006, beginning at 10:00 a.m. at San Francisco’s Moscone West. Throughout WWDC, developers will receive detailed information and best practices on developing Universal applications that take advantage of the performance of Intel-based Macs, including special sessions on performance optimization using Apple software development tools.

The five-day event, which runs from August 7 to August 11, will deliver more than 175 technical sessions and labs with new content designed to serve a wide range of Mac developers

Not sure why this required a press release, as we already knew this was on tap, but like many people I'm really curious to see what they have planned. I assume Leopard will be quite a bit more exciting than Tiger, if only to deflect pressure from Windows Vista. On the other hand, I also expect Leopard to ship at least three to six months after Vista.
