OCT. 26 or 31?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

OCT. 26 or 31?

Post by Azariah Ben Yaakov »

"Apple-centric sites are offering conflicting reports about whether Leopard, the next version of Mac OS X, has been finished and is being prepared for release later this month.

According to AppleInsider, Apple Inc. finalized Leopard this week and has begun preparing training materials for its technical support staff based on the gold master.

Rival site MacRumors, however, claimed late Tuesday that its sources reported that the latest Leopard builds are "still progressing" within Apple, and that the operating system has not been officially declared done.

Most Web sites and blogs that have cited unnamed sources in the last few days have pegged Leopard's release date as Oct. 26, the last Friday of the month. To bolster that date, pundits pointed out that Apple also rolled out the iPhone on the last Friday of June, and launched the previous Mac OS X, Tiger, on the last Friday in April 2005.

Analysts remain confident that Apple will meet the October deadline it set for Leopard's launch when it announced in mid-April it had to delay the operating system to shift programmers to iPhone development.

Although it's not slated to ship until later this month, Leopard can be pre-ordered at resellers such as Amazon, which has priced the OS at $129. Buyers take note: Amazon lists the release date for Leopard as Oct. 31.

As for the company itself, it's been mum on a release date so far."

Yeah. Apple won't say anything except that it will be releasing THIS month.

Either way, I can't wait!

I upgraded the ram, the Hard drive, and put a dvd drive in there, and ran ubuntu on it. It was pretty good. :D

But If I were you, I would just put it on your current laptop :p.

Hey, you must at least be interested, you... you... topic starter! :x

Well, now this resolves the problem of people having to decide what to do at 6pm on the 31st. Before, weren't we all so torn between begging for candy or standing in line at the Apple store? ;)
