I don't think there will be "Live" video stream for WWDC 07.
Apple stop doing that since the last few Macworld & WWDC.
What you'll get is delay transcript on iTunes & apple.com

It will, no worries. They wont make something that you cant run on Current hardware.
Your question should be asked by ppl using G4. And very questionable G3...

Further browsing in the new apple.com I found:
- Leopard Server now appeared.
- In Leopard you can switch between your Bootcamp volumes faster with safe sleep.
- In Leopard FrontRow update to resemble BackRow (aka the aTV version of FrontRow).
- A new DVD player.

Apparently, there's no ZFS+ for Leopard.

And who said Leopard Beta has ZFS?

Yeah, which mean many of us wont be able to make use of it.
Hopefully in the future release of Leopard will have full support.

Don't worry, like I said before, Apple new OS always have a good record to support older hardwares, at lease 2-3years old.

Probably you wont get the blasting performance boost of full 64bit. The OS will handle the 64bit to 32bit emulation* (as shown during Leopard 1st preview). Leopard will be a full 64bit OS which backward compatible with 32bit apps in short.

No idea how the performance of non-64bit or not fully 64bit hardware. Maybe the user wont get the full juice of 64bit. Then again, not everything will be magically faster even it is 64bit. For larger sum of calculation string, yes. But how often an end user get to do that are very subjective.

*Not sure if emulation is the right words, but hope you get the idea.
