At the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2009, Apple showed off its new operating system: Mac OS X 10.6. Like Microsoft’s Windows 7, it has extensive support for touchscreen computers and this signals a new hint at the Apple Tablet that will hit soon.

As CNET writes:

“However, based on the features demonstrated at the developer conference last week, the newest version of the Mac operating system, OS X 10.6, dubbed Snow Leopard, could turn out to be the most touchscreen-friendly Mac OS the company has ever built. Snow Leopard won’t be available until September, and so far, Apple does not sell a touchscreen notebook or tablet. But some of the features in the upcoming OS at least show a path on which Apple could be headed toward offering a larger touchscreen device.”
