Leopard may be delayed

Delaying the release of 10.5 just because they want to have more people use Windows on a Mac...?! Now that would really suck big time...

#9: So if I write the same thing in my blog - it must be true?

From my testing of the latest seed, 10.5 is nowhere near ready. In fact, it's worse than the previous seed, like somebody forgot to do their job or wasn't paying attention when the manager said "everybody checked in and ready to go?"

First, Apple debunked it. Second, Microsoft was using a Macbook Pro to demo Vista before it was even release using Apple's beta bootcamp software. Why not use the best hardware to demo your own product? Makes it look better. You're giving the rumorers the attention they want. Just laugh at them.

If true, I want no part of it. Boot Camp should remain an optional, separate download for those that want it. Bundling it with the entire OS and then delaying its release would turn me away from Apple.

Not Accurate, confirmed with Apple.

I don't even know why so many websites, including AppleInsider, are reporting this nonsense. DigiTimes is just asking for attention.

I had an angry response all planned out, but Neven (#3) said exactly what I was thinking. Holding back Leopard for Vista compatibility? That's horribly wrong.

And all of those various sites reporting this cite Digitimes as their source.

Not exactly verified through the usual two additional sources, huh?

What a bunch of morans! There's nothing wrong except Boot Camp's Vista support? And Apple will delay a significant update - one that directly impacts the CS3 cash-cow - to support a few users who want to dual boot Vista (when most use Parallels anyway)?

There's nothing to prevent Apple shipping Leopard by June 21 and improving Boot Camp with the 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 update. I guess if the rumor came from Digitimes, that means Leopard will be early, not late.
