+When Steve Jobs takes the stage at the Apple Worldwide Developer's Conference next week he's expected to give a feature complete preview of Apple's much anticipated new operating system, OS X 10.5, nicknamed Leopard.
+
+While Apple has previously acknowledged that Leopard will be delayed until October of this year, Jobs has traditionally used the WWDC as a place to show off new features.
+
+Although no one knows for sure what Jobs will unveil, here's what we know so far.
+
+###New Features
+
+The much vaunted new Time Machine is an archival system that makes periodic backups of your hard drive, allowing you to recover those accidentally deleted files. 
+
+The wow factor comes from the amazing 3-D interface that lets you visually move forward and backward through time, as it were.
+
+In addition to the visuals, Time Machine can be used to pick and choose which files to restore rather than restoring a fixed state as most current backup solutions do. 
+
+From the information available it appears that Time Machine is essentially a dressed up remake of version control, something programmers have long relied on for tracking document changes.
+
+Another brand new feature for Leopard is Spaces, Apple's take on virtual desktops. Spaces allows you to group similar apps on virtual desktops and change from say your web browser and email client desktop to your work desktop with Photoshop and Illustrator.
+
+###Revamped Applications
+
+Leopard will see a new focus on productivity applications with Mail, iChat and Spotlight all receiving significant upgrades.
+
+Apple's Mail program will see a major overhaul in Leopard with the addition of notes, todo lists, stationary and an RSS reader. 
+
+The notes feature allows user to write reminders and can include graphics, text and attachments. Notes can be stored in folders or smart mailboxes and according to Apple, behave just like traditional mailboxes meaning you can view your notes from any computer. 
+***(presumably with IMAP?? I actually don't see how that could possibly by true otherwise, perhaps that's limited to .Mac)***
+
+ToDo lists are actually a system wide tool, featured in Mail and iCal, but theoretically available to any app that wishes to leverage them, similar to the way Address Book data is handled.
+
+Leopard Mail will ship with stationary templates for HTML mail and newsletters. Judging by Apple's demo video, the feature is very similar to the template handling of Keynote and Pages and will see Mail gain a media browser for quick and easy access to iPhoto and other media management programs.
+
+Leopard will also see the addition of RSS capabilities in Mail. Safari already handles RSS and so far Apple hasn't given any hint as to how the two will work together.
+
+While Apple's press release claims the revamped Mail has "breakthrough new features that have never been seen before in a Mail application," that just isn't true. Nearly everything new in Apple Mail is already available to Outlook and Entourage users, but Mail users should be happy that their favorite client is now up to speed with competitors.
+
+Also due to be significantly revamped is iChat, Apple's internet messenger client.
+
+Leopard's iChat will include access to special effects similar to those in Photo Booth as well as live presentations of iPhoto slideshows, Keynote presentations and videos through a feature called "iChat Theater." 
+
+Other new features in iChat include a screen sharing feature that gives users remote desktop capabilities for sharing and collaboration during chat sessions.
+
+With 2007 already being dubbed the year of the widget, its no surprise tha Apple has big plans for OS X's widget manager, Dashboard.
+
+Dashboard is rumored to be receiving a major overhaul, but details remain largely unknown. The only official new feature Apple has revealed is Web Clip, a Dashboard tool that allows users to clip any part of a Web page and turn it into a "live widget."
+
+Judging by Apple's information the "live widget" is really just a browser window on your Dashboard. Users can resize the window to zero in on the portion of the page they wish to track.
+
+Spotlight, Apple's system-wide search mechanism has a new feature in Leopard named Quick Look, which allows users to preview documents without opening an application. 
+
+Spotlight will also gain support for Boolean operators such as NOT and OR in searches.
+
+###Behind the Scenes
+
+Not all of the changes in Leopard are in the bundled applications, there are also some significant under-the-hood overhauls designed to speed up performance.
+
+Leopard will be the first version of OS X to fully support 64-bit systems. 
+
+While various parts of the Tiger, Apple's current shipping version of OS X, support 64-bit systems, the changes in Leopard will extend the 64 bit support to all graphical applications.
+
+For the time being this really only helps users of the latest Intel hardware -- those running on the 64-bit processors, namely the XServer, Mac Pro and the most recent Core 2 Duo notebooks.
+
+While details of Dashboard's revamped widget system remain largely unknown, developers will be happy to know that that Leopard brings a new development environment, dubbed Dashcode, which should make it easier to create Dashboard Widgets. 
+
+###More To Come
+
+Steve Jobs has promised that Leopard has a few more tricks up its sleeve and the Apple rumor mills are churning out speculations every week. No one knows for sure, but some things do seem more likely than others.
+
+Notable rumors include the notion that Bootcamp (which will ship with Leopard) might include some virtualization features and full support for Windows Vista.
+
+Others claim that Safari and Mail will gain phishing protection and greater Ajax support for applications like GMail (these features are already available via nightly builds of WebKit). Leopard may also support Sun's Zettabyte File system (ZFS) which eliminates file size limits and improves hard drive reliability.
