Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard screenshots?

Two images that are purported to be “Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard screenshots” are available on the “Trinity Rubicon” blog. Labeled “Finder & Internet Explorer” and “Desktop Switcher” the reader speculation below the images runs the gamut from “cool” to “obvious Photoshop fake” with nary a vote for Gimp.

We assume that, if real, the discontinued-on Mac “Internet Explorer” shows a Windows application running seamlessly in Leopard. Have Apple and the Darwine folks been working together? Or is Mac OS X’s long-rumored “Red Box” for natively running Windows applications actually being used in the images?

See them here.

MacDailyNews Take: What do you think? Trinity Rubicon’s back catalog seems to consist of just this one “Leopard Screenshots” post. Based on the definitions of “Trinity” and “Rubicon,” are these actual images of a triple-threat (Mac, Linux, Windows) Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 that proves Apple’s bound and determined to cross the point of no return?

[UPDATE: 6/24: The author of the screenshots has admitted to faking them. More info here.]
