There are so many sites that are doing detailed round ups of the WWDC 2007, which you can now watch here. I just wanted to do a quick roundup (including rating, 1 is the lowest with 5 being the highest):
New iChat functionality (2/5)
Safari on Windows (4/5)
Games on OS X (4/5)
Leopard demo (4/5)
iPhone release date + development (5/5)
Well I think he pulled it off again. Some of these announcements are quite important (even if they don't seem like it at first). The big was Safari and iPhone. This is a GREAT article about why that is very important indeed. (and here is another)
Games on OS X are finally getting another push, I hope it sticks this way. It has been one of the biggest reasons I won't buy a Mac today. Plus everyone knows that the gamers are the crazy people who get video cards that cost as much as the whole PC ;-)
What impressed me about the Leopard are the flashy new features. This is what Vista tried to do so much and (in my opinion) failed. Leopard actually looks VERY VERY pretty, and quite smart. He really let Microsoft have it by showing them... that even though they are so much bigger, and have spent so much more money developing Vista. When it comes to OS design, Apple wins hands down. Oh, and Leopard comes in several flavours... Basic Version : $129, Ultimate Version $129, Business Version $129, Ultimate Version $129... yeah, Microsoft time to get your heads out of your arses and grow up. Having at least 7 versions of the same OS is confusing, expensive, and just plain old stupid. But hey, what can you say about a company that comes up with something as confusing as the Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, Select Agreement, Open Value, Open License, etc. is simply ridiculous. Let me put it this way... if you need to get certified to understand the licensing model... it's TOO CONFUSING. Oh well...
