Some folks on the MSI Wind forums are reporting a huge increase in battery life for hacktintosh netbooks after upgrading to 10.5.7. Why would Apple care about power management on Atom-based hardware? Dunno!
Of course, this could be a symptom of wider software optimisations or just a false alarm altogether. If it’s true though, this is great news—aside from a few awkward interface difficulties, diminished battery life is (or was) the best argument against giving OS X a try on your netbook.

Looks like they’ve optimised the OS in preparation for an apple netbook.
This would lead me to believe that snow leopard might not get released at this years June keynote.
This is all speculation though…
