When Apple announced the delay of Leopard(because of the iPhone), they said it would ship in October. As for the iPhone Apple said June, so they actually took all the time they could and released on the 29 which was by the way, the last Friday of that month. Therefore if they follow the current pattern and release on a Friday at 6pm (just like Tiger and the iPhone), Leopard should be showing up in shelves on the 26th of October. That would mean that an announcement should be made as early as this week in terms of pre-orders. I can’t wait to install it. Favorite feature: Spaces, Core Animation and native Ruby on Rails support. I hope Mac developers offer discounts on the Leopard upgrades to their apps. I especially want to see what TexMate and Delicious-Monster have in the works. This is going to be a developer’s release(cool features for developers to create sexy apps) thus a release for the next generation of indy software that will benefit consumers. 2007 is going down in history as the year of mayor OS updates: Vista, Leopard and the best of the best, according to their CEO…Amiga OS 5(he said it’s better than OS X…lol).
(I do hope that Leopard is much more stable than when Tiger got released!)
