Apple Media Event ~ OSX Lion?

[xxMATTGxx]

Apple have started sending out invites to another one of their events and it seems this time it is focusing on the "Mac" side of things. There is also an image that also clearly contains a lion, hinting to Apple talking about the next release of their operating system. OSX Lion maybe?

Engadget reports that Apple has issued invitations for a special media event to be held next Wednesday, October 20th at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. The invitation for the event, which is to be held at the company's campus in Cupertino, California, carries the tagline "Back to the Mac".

The invitation also contains an image of what appears to be a lion peeking out from behind the Apple logo, hinting at discussion of Mac OS X 10.7. "Lion" has been one of the most commonly-suggested "big cat" names for the next-generation operating system.

As shown in our Buyer's Guide, much of Apple's notebook line with the exception of the entry-level MacBook is due for a refresh, and Apple has refreshed at least a portion of its notebook line each October or November for the last several years. Apple's desktop offerings have all been updated relatively recently, suggesting that the company's media event may focus on notebooks if new hardware is included on the agenda.

I hope it's an improvement over 10.6, 10.6 was a broken 10.5 IMO

That. Lion. Looks. Photoshopped. Nah jks.

It doesn't look like an apple invite to me, looks fake.

Never had any problems with 10.6 unless it was installed on top of 10.5 (but even then, it was mostly okay)

I am hoping for them to upgrade the 13" MacBook Pros with i3's and possibly some upgrades to the 15" MBPs too

engadget don't normally lie about this sort of thing though.

I know, it just doesn't look like something which apple would do, I think the 3D depth is off a little bit, it's like the foreground is 3d with loads of depth and the background is flat but somehow right behind the foreground.
