Apple says Leopard will ship on time

I just ordered a Macbook yesterday, and was wondering if like all the people who just bought laptops before Vista was released (ick ick comparing apple to microsoft someone strike me with a bricked ipod) if I will get some sort of free/discounted upgrade to Leopard as its going to be released very soon? or should I just refuse the package when fedex arrives and wait to order after the release...

Humn, it would definitely make sense that the Dev version of Leopard is a trimmed down version from the original super secret feature one. At least this would explain the bugginess, imagine if you hat to chop out huge parts of the source code and build 2 seperate version. Which version do you care more about, the secret original or the open light^^?
I think I'll prey to his mighty Jobness tonight hoping to get a sign.

The iPod did get an update last fall - it was not much, but it did have a rare Apple price drop plus a few minor feature enhancements. It seems like Apple is shooting for updates just before every Fall season because that's the time when they sell the most iPods.

Matt:
"4. hey guys, I'm new to the whole Mac world (just bought my first iMac in February). How much do Mac OS's retail roughly in stores (for when Leopard comes out)?

Thanks."

Congrats. I too am a recent full-time switcher [I switched part time about 2 years ago, using a PC for work and a Mac for everything else]. Welcome to the club.

Tiger currently retails for $129 USD, and I know that 10.0 [cheetah] retailed for the same amount. I pretty sure that 10.1-10.3 also did, so it's fair to expect Leopard to retail at that price point too.

Hope that helps :)

in addition, our Houston Galleria Apple store is undergoing renovation. i believe the same is true of other locations. if so, i wonder if Apple is gearing up for the combination iPhone/Leopard launch around WWDC? Something big in store? (no pun intended.)

Apple had a working Intel version of OS X from its beginning. who knew? My guess is that OS X and some of these top secret features are much further along than Apple is letting on, hence the fitting name Leopard. Apple might just spring it on us this Spring after all.

I'm personally getting tired of waiting on Apple to release a NEW iPOD!

How long has it been since Apple updated the iPod w/video? A year?!?
Come on - my old 2G iPod is starting to show its age...let me buy a new one - one with a iPhone-style touch screen and a nice BIG hard drive of 80GB!

Loweded, Summer starts officially on the summer solstice on June 21st, which is late June. Spring just began on the equinox (March 21st), which gives them three months to release Leopard.

Donkey: believe me or not, I think this man (not pizza guy, but actual mac developer) have the newest version from some apple developer site. And it's far from finished.

tv will ship on schedule. war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. we have always been at war with oceania.
