Schiller and team to deliver WWDC keynote, Snow Leopard developer preview June 8
Apple issued a press release this morning, saying that Worldwide Marketing VP Phil Schiller would lead a "team of Apple executives" to deliver the Worldwide Developer Conference keynote June 8 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific (1 p.m. Eastern).
According to the press release, attendees will receive a developer preview of Snow Leopard, the next major version of Mac OS X. The developer preview is designed to show off a new version of QuickTime, QuickTime X, multi-core and GPU processor support, and accessibility enhancements.
"At WWDC, we will be giving our developers a final Developer Preview release so they can see the incredible progress we've made on Snow Leopard and work with us as we move toward its final release," said Bertrand Serlet, senior VP of Software Engineering.
During the conference, iPhone developers can also attend over 100 technical sessions and meet with more than a thousand Apple engineers about iPhone OS 3.0, the release says.
WWDC runs from June 8 to June 12 at Moscone West in San Francisco. The conference is sold out.

Why has QuickTime gone from version 7 to version 10 (X) in one release?

Because the X is a marketing thing and nothing else. It's cooler than Mac OS XV (what we call 10.5). Maybe they will it still actually be version 8 but called X, much like adobe uses CS4 for their products but they all have there own version numbers

Why did Microsoft go to Windows 7, even though it is not the seventh version of Windows?

cuz the main everyday home consumer versions of windows have been 95,98,me,2000,XP,vista. Basically if your not a geek windows 95 was the first one people remember.
matt said 10:55AM on 5-14-2009
I think windows 7 is more 1, 2, 3, 95/98/2000/ME, xp, vista
95 to ME are very similar really

Matt, it goes like this:
1, 2, 3.x, 95 (4.0)/98 (4.1)/ME (4.9), 2000 (5.0)/xp (5.1), vista (6.0), and 7

They're going to detonate Jobs on stage?

I expect the iPhone will be the "one-more-thing" then! But perhaps the upgrade will in that case fairly minor.
Maybe just camera and digital compass + a memory boost.

Phil is okay. He certainly doesn't have the theatrical timing that Steve Jobs has, but its ultimately about the products, not the presentation.
You can mark my words that the new iPhone will be Apple's "one more thing," and I'm willing to bet Steve will make that announcement himself.

If he's dead then shouldn't we see a death certificate even though he's a CEO?
Ariel said 6:53PM on 5-15-2009
I doubt there's going to be any real interface/theme changes. If there were, we should have seen actual screenshots of them in practice, like we did for Leopard before Apple showed off the Leopard feature-complete version.
