Quick google shows many of the systems with the new chipset having a max of 8gb memory, so it's no longer a chipset restriction.  |

Well I don't actually think that the 12 inch will be out before say October, but it is meant to be in the works. I have read a number of articles about it, however nothing in this life is for sure. Therefore I am aiming for a new 15 inch MBP at WWDC.

Apple are saying that to use Leopard, you need a new computer. The current generation of machines will be blocked out of Leopard via a DRM chip placed on the mainboard of every Intel computer. So if you want Leopard, the only way to get it is via a new computer and run it on that. I can see why Apple are doing this, they want users to have the best experience and using it on old computers isn't going to do that. Not a bad move on Apple's part IMHO. |

Apple said that about 10.4, and 10.3, and 10.2. And there's 7600's out there running Tiger happily. The existing developer builds of 10.5 still call for a G4 with firewire and 512 MB as the mimimum requirements.
No way would Apple alienate users who'd bought a machine in the 18 months prior to the release of 10.5, they'd find One Infinite Loop surrounded by angry Mac fiends waving burning torches made from Vista packaging.

Hmmm I really hope they have a new revision of the MBP in June, the time has come to flog my 15" 1.83ghz MBP and salary sacrifice a new one! 
I recall a while back there were rumours of a possible change in form factor for the MBP, personally I hope they keep the current style - still the best looking notebook by far.
Top of my wishlist - maybe a beefier GPU and 256mb video ram as standard in the entry model. |

I can't shake this feeling you've copied this from Microsoft.com but you've replaced "Microsoft" with "Apple" and "Vista" with "Leopard"... |

Apple have a very good track record with having backward compatibilty with previous operating systems. Not until OS11 I think they will drop PPC MInd you I wouldnt be surprised if g3 or even g4's get dropped

Oh, the thought of it! Apple couldn't possibly leave us high and dry!
