Apple's Snow Leopard -- an OS without new features

It merited only an aside in Apple CEO Steve Jobs' keynote at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

So, what we know about that operating system, dubbed Snow Leopard, is: It exists. And the widespread pre-WWDC rumors were on target when they said that Snow Leopard, unlike, oh, every other major OS X revision, will feature ... no new features.
