I think the best page on the WWDC 2007 is this one
Some amazing stuff on there. Some shots of the new iD Software engine aswell as news of full multicore optimisations to some of the base functions of OSX.
The new 64bit stuff seems good aswell
64bit OpenGL 
On a sidenote about OSX being Apples 'answer to vista', I'm pretty sure they wern't that worried about Vista and doubt they lost many (if any) custom from the release of Vista. Possibly the opposite with people wanting to dual boot their Mac's with Vista.
I do think the term "Vista, Microsoft's answer to OS X" is/was fitting on the release of Vista tho as it has so many key features copied from OS X

Send a letter to Valve telling them to code a Mac native version then

Yup, you can do everything and run everything a PC can on a Mac with the added benefit of OS X which totally lays the smackith down on Windoze. Can't OC em though, Mac's don't actually use a Basic I/O System, they use Extensible Firmware Interface's (EFI for short). They could easily be programmed to allow for overclocking, but Apple doesn't want to have to deal with us overclocking freaks breaking their purdy hardware, can't blame em.
Edit: OS X on latest Intel hardware is rip-

Edit: OS X on latest Intel hardware is rip-fast to begin with, no real "need" to overclock. When I had my MBP I never felt that I needed more power, everything was uber lightening fast.
thats got to be a first, Someone on here saying they dont need to overclock something. You lot would try and overclock a toaster if you had the chance.
