Post your predictions here 
I think new displays w/ or w/o a iSight built-in, a new iSight (If not built-in), maybe the iPhone (with the release of iChat for windows).

I think it's funny that most of the stuff that was thrown out there and poo poo'd in threads like this have come to reality. Well. In due time anyway.
I remember:
mini ipods (although I think that was a superchicken thread and not a MWSF guess what's coming thread but whatever)
quad processor powermacs
iMacs with big screens
headless imacs
flower print imacs
Well. One of those, I totally made up.

I'm hoping for Leopard Server and Intel Xserve demos at the Apple Booth. I'm especially interested in any ActiveDirectory/OpenDirectory improvements in both server and clients. Tiger is pretty grim.
An Apple ultraportable would nifty, too, with stylus, but that's certainly not going to happen.

I'm excited for iWork 07. My trial just expired for 06 on my new MB and I'm waiting for the new one to come out so I could get it for school. I also hope to see more about leopard
I'm going to have to buy alot of stuff in the next few months: applecare, iwork 07, and leopard(when it comes). Ugh, I better start saving.

We currently have dual processor (quad core) powermacs. [I would like to see 8 core systems]
I'm still waiting for a headless iMac. Call the Mac mini what you will, but it's not a headless iMac. Perhaps if it had a full sized HD and a graphics card (grumble grumble).
They did nail the shuffle a while back.

I'd really like to see an iWork 07 with a spreadsheet. Rumors were that it's called "Numbers," though I think Apple should resurrect the "Calc" name for nostalgia.

I heard about that too! I'd like to see some new things done to pages and keynote.

They're quad processor. Dual Dual-processor chips = 4.
The mini is close enough. The cube had all that and you bastards complained about that thing, too.

More people are voting for the iPhone over Leopard? Jobs will definitely want to use Macworld to showcase Leopard. That's the best time to compare Leopard to Vista.
I think Leopard, iLife, iWork, and iTV are realistic expectations. They might not be immediately available, but they will be officially announced.

They aren't dual-processor processors, at least not in common parlance. They're processors with dual execution cores. Hence why he said two processors and four cores. (Yeah, the difference really isn't all that great, but that's how the terms are commonly used.)

I just got a new phone, so I'm gonna pass on the iPhone. Leopard, on the other hand, genuinely interests me (I've never done an OS X update before; I didn't get into Macs until after Tiger was well-established).

I'd be happier with a better-than-lousy Spotlight interface.

You don't even know what it is. It might be a great as the iPod or as crappy as the Mighty Mouse.

iWork '07 with Numbers... maybe a database program too (called Data or Bases)? I'd like to be able to throw away AppleWorks 6 at some point.

I would love to see a nice little database program. Something that would have themes and common database templates.
But I'm guessing Apple would rather have you buy File Maker Pro.

I agree pyrite, Tiger currently has me rather upset. The finder is VERY sluggish at times (opening a folder with a hundred or so files can be a nightmare), Safari is acting up (LONG time to launch, will hang when loading a page, etc) Spotlight being sluggish.
It's not one one of my Macs, it's the same way on all of them.

Have you checked your RAM? You might have faulty RAM that is slowing things down.
