June 8 date for Snow Leopard?

Posted on 10 Mar 2009 at 11:35

Apple may announce the release of Snow Leopard on June 8, according to an anonymous reservation at the Moscone conference centre in San Francisco.

That is the traditional venue for the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference and for the week starting on that date it has a booking billed only as a “corporate meeting”.

Apple has yet to announce the dates for its 2009 WWDC, but it has been held at the same time for the past two years. Last year, chief executive Steve Jobs used his opening keynote to announce Snow Leopard, saying that it would ship “in about a year”.

Snow Leopard promises little in terms of new features. Instead Jobs revealed that it will focus on underlying OS X technologies, among them a new graphics engine, a new version of QuickTime and support for multicore processors, while for the first time providing full Microsoft Exchange support.
