It's been a few weeks since Snow Leopard shipped, which means it's high time Apple developers got back to work. And now there's a wee bit of evidence that work on OS X 10.7 has actually begun. MacRumors spotted a reference to 10.7 in change notes inserted into the LaunchD framework, an open source module Apple uses to control the boot process of OS X. The change note lists an OS X build number that can be deciphered to read as 10.7.0.47.

While it's not news that Apple would be working on the next major version of OS X, this is the first evidence that 10.7 is a work in progress.
Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) was mainly a performance and stability tweak, but OS X 10.7 is expected to be a major update, with many new features and capabilities. If you were overseeing the development of OS X 10.7, what features would you like to see? Leave a comment and let us know!
