Platform newcomers, as well as developers in a hurry to get solutions to market, will find that Leopard not only provides unique and highly innovative facilities, it exposes them in ways that welcome developers of all stripes. As a result, Leopard's new features will be taken up extremely rapidly by developers, extending the transformation of the Mac platform from the OS all the way up end-user applications.
This is a must-read. I know a few people who'll be especially excited by the integration of Quartz Composer and Core Animation:
The relative ease with which this can be done paves the way for unimaginably beautiful, knowledge-dense, and productive user interfaces and information displays, not to mention the value in entertainment and consumer electronics software.I can't wait.

I can't wait either. Show me the money.
I'm sure you know as well as anybody that there is a big difference between possibility, execution, and mainstream adoption.
Apple's still not there yet. They're more likely than any other company to pull it off.
And I don't see the rest of the stuff in the Knowledge Navigator video, like voice recognition, a smart avatar, or a computer that learns and gets my work done fore me, even in Leopard.
I hope Steve has some skunk works projects on that stuff, too.
