Mac OS X Snow Leopard is the successor to Mac OS X Leopard. The name similarity between the two versions is significant - Leopard was a feature-release, but Snow Leopard is a developer-release. Snow Leopard lays the ground-work for better Mac applications. Snow Leopard was announced at the World Wide Developer's Conference in 2008.
At WWDC 2009, Apple announced that Snow Leopard will ship at some point during September 2009. On August 24, 2009, Apple began taking pre-orders for Snow Leopard and announced its release date: August 28, 2009.
