TUAW proposes Apple wants leave Mac OS X 10.5 behind by passing the baton to 10.6. Wireless issues and lately a file corruption problem make Leopard seem unsteady. TUAW and AppleInsider say the efforts will focus on “stability and security” rather than any new features. Both also say that 10.6 will be Intel only.
One area they differ is on Mac OS X 10.6 name. TUAW has a survey for you to choose which cat name will be next.
AppleInsider reports that ArsTechnica has word that Snow Leopard is the code name for Mac OS X 10.6. This makes sense if the intended purpose proves true.
