Snow Leopard Screens, Not much to see

In surprising news, there has been a leak of screen-shots and video of Apple's upcoming OS, Snow Leopard. Well, no, it isn't that surprising really, and either is what the info shows. To say that Apples OS's don't change much is a little harsh, but really there isn't much to see.

The UI looks much the same as the current Leopard version, but as always, there is to be a heap of tweaks and seemingly useless features that you will find yourself unable to work without after the couple of days use. e.g. Expose.

By the time I had written this, Twitter is telling me that the YouTube videos have been pulled. Does that say something about my typing or Apple?

I found the answer on the TechNet Forums under a question on "Networking with a mac", and here are the details (thanks to dnegrich):
