Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Delayed until October?

Compatibility with Vista? Vista isn't even compatible with Vista.

No Way!!! ......well I certainly hope not :eek:

I would see that kind of support coming in the form of a software update instead of delaying the whole OS for so long.

I hope to god their wrong, but the way MWSF was completely devoid of any Leopard update, especially any kind of announcements concerning the "secret features", I had my suspicion that it was way behind schedule. Here's the really unfortunate part, not only is the supposed delay caused by bootcamp support for vista, it gives Microsoft talking points by the fact that it is both late and possibly released after Vista's SP1 service pack.

No Way. Phooey

This has got to be one of these real leaks, from inside Apple, but leaked to send us all off track. (Kinda like Kevin .. from Digg announcing the 2-battery iPhone)

Quite simply, why on Earth would Apple delay their OS, so that it can have compatibility with a rival OS, that was already notoriously late?

It's a red herring.

It's hokum.

I imagine that the person that originated this bull, thought that it would be funny to suggest that Leopard is going to be late, to gain compatibility with Vista...which was very late.. Queue the inevitable conclusion....

My personal prediction is that it will be ready when it's ready. The day after it gets the go ahead, Apple will announce a special event for the following Tuesday.

I don't mind the OS being delayed (gives me more time to save up for it!), but it's ironic after all of Steve's posturing over how Vista was coming out so late...

Considering I set up vista on my colleagues macbook with minimal problems, this sounds like BS. We've even got it running more complex things like vpn, remote desktop, active directory and offline files. The only problem we encountered was that we had to install the drivers manually.

Im fairly certain that all thats required for vista support is a tweak and re-compile of the drivers setup.exe

...and this was on the readily available beta of bootcamp.

OH MY GOD!!!!

*RUNS**SHOUTS*THE SKY IS FALLING THE SKY IS FALLLING *endshout**

*Dries tears*

No way, I think it might be LATE spring, but I think that by June we will sure be worthy of Leopard.

*me hopes*


EDIT THIS IS FALSE FALSE FALSE


HOW can we have WWDC when EVERYTHING is LEOPARD BASED?

lets wasteland this and forget it ever happened. :(

No Way. Phooey

I agree. There is no way they would delay it for that. If anything it would be an upgrade at that time (which I don't believe).

Seeing how I just came over from the "DARK SIDE" last October, I am numb to when updates and new versions come out. Heck even after they came out there were service packs almost immediately.

Let them take longer if they need it. I myself am in no hurry

:apple:

Just in case it doesn't get seen in my previous post clearly enough:
