Well, Apple confirmed a few of the rumours this morning - Mac Pro
towers (3 Ghz intel Xeon, with dual optical drives, and plenty of
room for expansion), and new Xserves - so all the new Macs are intel
now.
Leopard, the new OS X is almost ready - with new stuff -
Time Machine (a built-in backup program),
Group iCal stuff,
"Spaces" . New virtual desktops feature to allow users to manage
different environments. Users can group different applications to
easily switch and work on different projects,
new "Core Animation" - animation engine,
Mail improvements - stationary, to-dos and more.
iChat is "seriously" enhanced. It will feature Photo Booth effects
(all effects from Apple's Photo Booth application), multiple logins,
invisible mode, tabbed interface, custom backgrounds with images or
video, Keynote presentation sync, animated buddy icons, and more.
Spotlight can search other Macs as well.
Have a browse:

Will you be upgrading to intel when Leopard comes out? :)
