crunchgear has a preview of Snow Leopard, including a little video. It’s based on the Gold Master, 10A432 release.
Some notable features:
- QuickTime has been turned completely Pro with screen capture, audio capture, and movie capture built in along with an editing/trimming ribbon right in the app
- Shutdown is faster as is wireless connectivity
- There is automatic printer driver download as well as automatic timezone setup
- It also has Chinese character input, faster installation, and faster Time Machine backup. It also is 6GB smaller than the original Leopard
- Stacks has been updated as well with a new icon style and menu color. Previews are much more powerful now and you can cut intelligently from PDFs
- It requires an Intel processor – no PowerPC support – 1GB of memory and 5GB of disk space
