Code freeze on Snow Leopard APIs issued

Isn't this called a "feature freeze"? They're still fixing bugs now, the "code freeze" is when the only bugs being fixed are the critical security issues, all the functionality bugs are postponed.

Make it $29 and I'll bite. At $129 I'll probably pass.

I made this comment on MacRumors too: the 'no further API changes are planned for Snow Leopard' is in a section referring *specifically* to Grand Central Dispatch (a brand new API, mentioned at http://www.apple.com/macosx/snowleopard/). It's under that heading, and is in the middle of the first paragraph there.

While I can't quote it directly, it basically goes:

-------------------------

GCD section header

Significant changes to GCD API outlined below. No further changes planned. See GCD docs for more information.

-------------------------

I dunno, that sounds fairly explicit to me…

i'm really excited to see how opencl helps out with the day to day ilife stuff. browsing my huge photo library, messing around in garageband, converting songs in itunes. i'm holding off on buying '09 apps for the family bundle price with snow leopard/ilife/iwork.

Put up at the same time as the Snow Leopard web page (June '08) is the Snow Leopard Server web page, which describes many behind the scenes technologies.

I'm still very interested to see how they choose to distribute 10.6. With so few (none?) new UI or front-end features, I can't imagine they'll try to sell it in the same way they did Leopard or Tiger. Not enough users will see the benefit of upgrading. But I can't exactly see them making it free either.
