Late Leopard has Mac fans mad
to Apple’s announcement that OS X 10.5 or Leopard, will be delayed by four months because of iPhone.
In brief, the delay has Mac fans foaming at the mouth with anger.
That’s kind of surprising. I thought the Mac iFaithful would welcome the delay, because it means… errm, that Apple’s doing the job so well that it doesn’t want to release the Leopard on time, or something like that.
Thing is, nobody bought that line when Microsoft let the Vista deadline slide (and sliiiiiddde), so it’s not going to work for Apple either. Not holding my breath, but I think the Leopard launch will launch into with Vista with Service Pack 1 applied, which will essentially be the true Vista release version, the one that works well enough to be useful for the majority of people. Not that I think it will matter much, as Microsoft has more than enough on its plate, trying to shine at least some positive light on Vista.
