Hi Mike,
I assume Apple figures that it has introduced about as many people as
it can to the OS X specific technologies that enable rapid application
development.
I think the plan now is to grab the people using existing cross-
platform technologies and get them onto Macintosh by illustrating that
a Mac makes a better developer's platform than the alternatives. That
gets more developers using Macs so the barrier to exploring the OS X
specific technologies is lowered.
An unbelievable number of people using open source technologies on the
server are currently developing on Windows machines. It seems to me
that Apple is trying to get as many developers buying and using Apple
hardware as possible. Even Windows (e.g. ASP.NET) developers are
using Macs now and just running Visual Studio in VMware Fusion.
Running Windows, particularly Vista, on Fusion is in many ways
superior to running it on a whitebox system.
So the focus of WWDC seems to be to bring in new developers. We've
already been sold on Apple so we're going to get less marketing until
Apple itself develops something new and exciting, which it hasn't been
doing lately aside from the iPhone. Or rather I'm sure that Apple has
been developing new and exciting things but they aren't at the salable
stage yet. Marketing WO is not really worth it to Apple at this point
and WWDC is all about marketing developer technologies.

Seriously, Apple. WTF.
