Mac OS X Snow Leopard Coming in January 2009?

It could be that the next major release of Mac OS X will hit us this coming January. This comes after news that a recent Apple presentation dropped the news that the latest version of OS X may be shipping well ahead of schedule.

The presentation took place at the Large Installation System Administration’s (LISA) conference that was held last week. Apple’s director of Engineering of Unix Technologies, Jordan Hubbard was heard to say that Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) will ship in the first quarter of 2009.

Let the speculation begin about what new features and upgrades are included in Snow Leopard. Already confirmed are updates such as a rewritten Cocoa-based finder, HFS+ file compression and support for Microsoft Exchange in Mail. Exciting stuff. I’d hazard a guess that we’ll see the official launch at MacWorld this coming January. We’ll see!
