a) so is apple removing these "top secret" features from the build before publishing the beta (to keep them secret)
anyone find any hints in other areas that could clue us in as to what they are?
c) WHAT ARE THEY!?

possiblities: skins, windows virtualization, new bootcamp, what else?

bootcamp's not secret!

yea bot steve-o said it would be greatly improved and possibly branded under a diff name when integrated with leopard (remember its only in beta now)

Not that I would call it "secret," but I do think they will take Bootcamp out of beta by the time Leopard rolls around.

Yes. New GUI is on the way, think iTunes 7. That's just one.

You will see a greatly improved Front Row (in fact, you've seen it, if you've been watching carefully).



More than 200 new features

Yea, odds are that the new front row would look quite a bit like AppleTV.
Unlikely that they would design a UI completely different than the iPod for product designed to take the place of a Mini as a home theater setup if they werent going to put it everywhere.

The iTunes UI is pretty much a guarentee. Each Leopard build that comes out gets a little closer to the iTunes UI for Mail, Calendar, iChat... They dont look complete, but they are half-way there.

It seems unlikely that iTunes would get a whole new UI so sudden after the last one. It has stayed pretty consistent for so long anyways.
