Although it was claimed that the new version would more or less be a more effective, faster and stabler update, nothing as big as the switch from 10.4 to 10.5, it seems we can still expect a number of significant improvements. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roughlydrafted.com\/2008\/06\/23\/ten-big-new-features-in-mac-os-x-snow-leopard\/\">RoughlyDrafted Magazine<\/a> lists ten new features that we should find, come July 2009, in the shiny new Mac OS. Here is a quick round up of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Use of the Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) architecture project should ensure faster and more effective code.<\/li>\n<li>The integration of version 1.4 of the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) will guarantee better and safer printing performances.<\/li>\n<li>Read and write support for Sun&#8217;s 128 bit ZFS file system should replace the Mac native HFS+.<\/li>\n<li>Apple&#8217;s Push Notification Service (PNS) will keep your iPhone and iPod always connected to receive updates of events any time.<\/li>\n<li>Integration between mobile devices and desktop products, most probably via Bonjour.<\/li>\n<li>Even better than widgets, Snow Leopard could include self contained web apps.<\/li>\n<li>Integration of the best new Microsoft application features, like Fast User Switching, which came in Panther.<\/li>\n<li>Presence of Data Detectors anywhere there is text on your Apple computer.<\/li>\n<li>A new framework for Multi Touch trackpad gestures. Expect to put your fingers on the screen even more.<\/li>\n<li>Last but not least, Snow Leopard should bring with it much smaller applications. Just take a look at the graph below to get an idea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-images.sftcdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2008\/06\/200806182326.jpg\" alt=\"200806182326.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So there&#8217;s one year to wait till Apple releases its next operating system, Mac OS X 10.6, also known as Snow Leopard.
