For those of you who missed the news, Apple demoed a nearly-complete version of OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard at the WorldWide Developers Conference on Monday. Here's the details, in brief:

Fully 64-bit, CoreCL for GPU processing, GrandCentral will make it easier for developers to take advantage of multiple processors and multiple cores, and Quicktime X has been re-written from the ground up. Shipping in September, the upgrade will be just $29, and only $10 for people who buy a Mac between now and then. Exciting stuff.

Oh, and INTEL-ONLY.

Yes, that's right, Snow Leopard will not run on G5's or G4's. Nor will Snow Leopard Server, of course.

As always, we at FMC don't have any details on new books or courses until they are pblished, which should be shortly after Snow Leopard is shipping. We do know that if you are an Apple Certified Support professional, Technical Coordinator or Server Administrator, you will only need to take ONE re-certification test, not 5, so that's good news.
