Strange thing I noticed in the keynote is that they claim the disk

Either they have implemented compressed binaries or they use
filesystem compression.
Neither feature is present in Leopard AFAIK..
Filesystem compression is a ZFS feature, so ????
I think this is because they are removing PowerPC support from the
binaries.
I really doubt the PPC specific code is 6GB. A few 100 MB perhaps.
Most of a fat binary or an .app folder is architecture independent and
will remain.
And Phil Schiller specifically mentioned it was because of compression.
