blogs.business2.com— Apple confirmed the reports are wrong and Leopard is still scheduled to ship in this spring as they previously announced. The rumor mill is wrong again
Mar 24, 2007View in Crawl 4
Apple reaffirmed their previous statements in regards to the truthfulness or untruthfullness posited by reports released concerning released reports about Leopard's reported release schedule.Better?
typically, new machines come with upgrade coupons when they're sold just-prior to an OS release. Has anyone here purchased a new piece of hardware? They should be able to tell you if the coupons are included or not. You can get your OS for just the cost of the media/packaging. Usually less than $10.
Well, Im not exactly sure why my previous comment is being dugg down, but havent you guys been paying attention to the previous OS incarnations? When has there EVER been a surprise feature to OSX that hasnt been previously announced prior to launch? Apple has ALWAYS put all of its cards on the table to market OSX before its release and there have never been any "suprise" features.
somehow I can't imagine Apple enabling wobbly windows....Anyway, let's tally up everything Apple's added1. Spaces // we've all been waiting for this2. Core Animation3. OBJ-C GARBAGE COLLECTION!!! // very exciting4. Time Machine // not so exciting... just looks flashy5. ZFS // BIG6. 64 bit apps // also big!7. Front row... // ony my mini, w/o a remote or camera or anything, this is good.8. resolution independance9. OpenGL improvements10. Ruby on railsIt's quite a nice package, and there's still the 'Top Secret' stuff, plus ilife, and other improvements that I've forgotten.

And it costs ZERO to become an ADC member, thereby qualifying you for attendance at a Tech Talk. Hell, you don't even have to be an ADC member to go to WWDC.Ok f***tard, then why have I had multiple correspondence emails with him? And since you failed to see that the point of my response was to direct the user to one of the many opportunities to learn how to write apps for Leopard, f*** off idiot.

Well even if they over run March they can always use Time Machine and roll it right back. :p

My gf bought a Macbook 2 weeks ago. I asked for a coupon/free upgrade to Leopard but they were not offered.
