| Wwdc 2008 I thought I would kick off the WWDC 2008 thread. I came across Flickr WWDC 2008 banner pictures. To me the pictures hint of a 10.6 preview and the iPhone software release.

| There was also speculation by MacRumors that the lack of "Mac" in the banners might mean some sort of announcement for OS X on standard PCs. I guess we'll have to wait and see if that has any merit to it. Thank goodness school's out for the summer. Things should be quiet enough at work for me to keep track of the news bits during the keynote.

| Expect a revolt if that happens. They took the Mac out IMO because OS X is the basis for 3 distinct products. Mac OS X, iPhone OS X, Apple TV OS X.

| I'll be one of the revolters if they let OS X run on regular PCs. It's against the business concept they've been trumpeting for the past millennia. It's interesting how little concrete evidence there is about the products of this event. 3G iPhone, that's a given... but does anybody want to speculate on what else?

| Consider that a move to x86 was also thought of as being "against business practice", and yet here we are with x86 Macs. At this point, I can't really put anything past Apple. I doubt it will happen, but again we never expected a full move to Intel either.

| Maybe it's just me, but it seems changing the processors in your computers is a lot less radical than changing your entire machine/software philosophy. Mac OS X didn't change because of the Intel transition; it merely became faster. Leasing OS X to PC vendors puts an entirely new face on Apple.
