There's a lot of technologies introduced and discontinued with Leopard that really drives this point home. I don't think we'll see the full effects of 64 bit support, the beginning of the end of Carbon, resolution independence, QTKit and the lack of C QuickTime API in 64 bit until 10.6. Then of course, there's Core Animation, which can only get better as video cards improve and developers can use it to its full potential.
