Apple has released the Open Source part of Snow Leopard, with the kernel (xnu) noticeably missing. It’s not surprising that it’s missing, since it’s a new major release, and is not a slant at the Apple Engineering that is responsible for this. In fact, it’s pretty amazing to have it so soon.

Having said that, I look forward to the overwhelming press over Snow Leopard, and what a great leap in technology that it presents. Serious software on serious hardware. The bar has been raised once again on what a desktop (I reserve server for a later time) presents for a computer user.

Leaving behind the PowerPC Macintosh line wasn’t a difficult choice, but leaves Apple supporting Leopard for a while, at least for the G5s.
