Speculation season is in full swing. Following two separate “Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard screenshots” incidents (see related articles below), a video purporting to be Mac OS X Leopard has surfaced.
Apple plans a sneak peek of Leopard on August 7th at WWDC 2006 in San Francisco.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard screenshots? – June 23, 2006
I can’t even imagine why sites, MDN mostly lately keep posting this crap. Why MDN?
Also why is MDN so slow lately? I wait forever in Safari for the site to load. I’m a 30Mbps connection and all other site fly. Sometime I wait but most otehrs I just split. This visit wasn’t so bad. But most times I don’t bother.
Wouldn’t Leopard have a tabby Finder?
GET THAT GUY A TRIPOD!!!
Or at least that camera that has “that no shaky thing.”
Back to the finder – Looks useful, hope it’s true.
Relax with the analysis. This Is So Fake. There is no reason to have the camera-work be quite so Zapruder-like, except a certain of exuberance about the faking, and a healthy desire to obscure details.
(I would guess that we are just looking at a skinned and renamed version of Safari in action: the web pages are pictures of Finder windows. That’s an elegantly minimal solution to the problem of mocking up a tabbed Finder. Note, too, that we don’t get to see the About this Mac window actually spawn–we just pan over to it quickly.)
If you have tabs like in this video youre going to run out of room horizontally. and who wants to have the items names shortened ?
Obviously when names in tabs are shortened, simply hovering over them would reveal a popup of the full name. I can’t imagine why you would think this is a deal breaker for the feature. After all, the Dock doesn’t show any names at all until you hover over items.
I for one welcome our new tabbed Finder yadda yadda yadda.
I dunno. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest to see tabbed Finder windows. It goes well with their “Finder as application” window introduced with Panther (right?). If you’re going to have a single Finder window meant to be the only window you need (as opposed to opening a different window for each folder, the old-fashioned way), tabs make a heluva lotta sense.
But I wouldn’t use them. I’m too set in my ways. I prefer to have every folder I’m currently browsing in a different window, old-school. I always get rid of the folders on the left-side, and I only use column view to do a quick “drill-down” when I’m searching for something.
Expect the next Apple Leopard pre-release on Flickr. Viral marketing at its best, brought to you by Apple. If nobody gets sued over this, then you know Apple released this inte3ntionally to stir up sh*t.
Welcome Back, Ampar. Haven’t heard from you in a while.
Tabs completely make sense for users with small screens. (think 12 in. PowerBook)
Anyway, the tabs wouldn’t necessarily narrow into oblivion; they could be like Camino and overflow into a pop-down menu.
Poppycock,
I’m sure that the coworker used the contraction- should’ve.
Sounds like “should of” but Cubert has never heard of a contraction.
MW/”could’nt. too funny a contraction.

How about an ad campaign where Ashton Kuchar goes around office buildings with MacBooks running Leopard and gets PC users to try them out. And if they want to smash their PC or throw it off a building they can keep the MacBook? At the end the new Mac user says, “My name is Jon Dough, and I just got Tabb’d.”
sorry couldn’t see it too clearly what with all the jerking about, was it the alien autopsy?
I want my totally-revamped Finder, not the existing one with tabs glued on to it!!!

Great job Apple! – except tabbed browsing is already available in a nicer file browser – Cocoatechs’ Pathfinder.
It totalt fake im using 10.5 now and i can assure you there are no tabs and under macosx it says version 10.5 not version 10.5 prerelease-beta
