2 more rumors on Leopard OS X:

1- A rumor based on Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz announcement:

In fact, this week you’ll see that Apple is announcing at their Worldwide Developers Conference that ZFS has become the file system in Mac OS X

ZFS is a file system created by Sun Microsystems in November 2005 that offers better performance than the current file system. It is a 128-bit file system, which allows it to store 18 billion times more data than current 64-bit systems.

2- The second comes from Mac OS Rumors: “Leopard” will include a system-level “BitTorrent” filesharing client that can be user-customized to ‘donate’ upstream Internet bandwidth for things like pushing Software Update packages to Leopard users, delivering iTunes Store content, and just about any purpose to which Apple puts its bandwidth. …Rewards would include credit at the iTunes Store and the Apple Store as well as other affililated offers like free airtime minutes for Apple’s forthcoming “iPhone” and the like.”
