Leopard: All signs point to 10/26

I would prefer that apple takes all the time they need to bring out their OS and make it the best they can.

I personally feel that to apple, as long as a GM comes out a week before the end of october, we are OK.

Oh and apple also feels that they can get away with ALMOST perfect copies that only have such minor problems that we might aS well get a system update to fix it (not that we'd see anything).

iLife comes with the computer, always has. It doesn't come with the OS.

this "rumor" is confirmed by apple.com.....

search for leopard in the store..

"Looking for Mac OS X Leopard?
The next version of the world's most advanced operating system is coming in October 2007. Sign up for our email list to stay updated on Leopard and other new Apple products."

@ Tyler,

Do an Archive and Install and you'll keep all your Apple and 3rd-party apps while getting all the Leopard goodies too.

FYI:
New Mac comes with iLife 08 and Tiger so why would you think Leopard will suddenly drop the inclusion of iLife 08?

The current version of iLife is always included when you purchase a new Mac, just not when you but the OS separately.

I have a concern: when Leopard is released, it is not going to come bundled with ilife 08 or anything like that correct? I have a Black book and iLife 06 and so if i do a erase and stall am I going to loose ilife and such?

Sounds good to me. Friday's are a good day for the general public- especially students. I agree Tuesday the 30th is also possible date - not to mention the pre halloween fun it could bring.

Also Apple has had a good history with patching things- so if they give me a 10.5.1 by Thanksgiving I'll be happy-assuming there's and need for a 10.5.1

Oh and now that we've set our hopes up - there's a good chance Apple will say something soon - they dont want stock to drop do they?

I have been waiting for 1/2 a year already. Dang the iphone for delaying this OS

IF apple had releiced this OS as complete on June, then Vista would have been forgtotten by now!

Since there seem to be so many Leopard users here what is the damn password for SCHelper to enable Back To My Mac?

Everyone does realize that if you have hacked your mac... applying the 'Leper upgrade is going to brick your box...

I laugh at all of you who don't have leopard... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Now I am done laughing.
