how often did Jobs jab at Microsoft for delaying Vista?
i agree it's better to wait for a quality product. remember OSX 10.0? sorry, you can't burn a cd.
i also agree coupons for FREE upgrades should be given out for sales after 6/11.[listening mr. Jobs?]
i hope these "top secret" features are worth the wait, and i also hope that the iPhone software isn't a bungled release pushed out the door on june 30th to meet a deadline, quickly followed by a 160 meg patch.
Well, get on with the hardware updates already then Apple. The Mac mini has turned into an antique, we need HDCP support on the displays, better graphics hardware in general, etc. Obviously, there is no point in holding this stuff off for Leopard now.

It's a few months, lets not get on their tails just yet.

Exactly what i was thinking. Been looking for updated hardware for some time now.
See the problem isn't that Leopard is delayed. The probelm is that people wait for Leopard before they buy their new hardware, which slows sales of said hardware and potentially these people might just go with Vista instead of waiting.
This is an absolute disaster for Apple.
I'm just laughing at Jobs for how many shots Apple has taken at M$ for delaying Vista, and now they are eating their words. Real cool Apple, real cool.
This is just great, after several months of watching an waiting reading the forums and such. I thought I had it all planned out to get a MBP near the end of May to be inside the 30day free upgrade and that just fails now. Well to save my sanity from my crappy dell I guess I'm just waiting for the SR update now...
"Think Secret recently learned that Apple is now targeting a release date for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard of June 11, the same day Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference kicks off."
So I guess those 3 dozen bugs wasn't so easy to fix after all.
Nah. It's the extra secret features that need time to be given to developers to test.
I do recall finding this poll about releasing on WWDC to be impossible. Differentiate between PR and fact and one would discover that the best one would get @WWDC was going to be a feature complete beta.
As many have pointed out developers need time to augment their products.
I am sick to death of the iPhone, and it's not even out yet. We can blame it now for the delay of Leopard and resulting hardware sales declines, not to mention the artificial withholding of a widescreen iPod. All for something that customers of only ONE cell phone company in ONE country can take advantage of.
Didn't I JUST read that Mac sales were slowed this quarter because everyone is waiting for Leopard?
Save face, Apple... provide a free upgrade to Leopard for anyone who buys a new Mac after WWDC. Otherwise, you deserve major ridicule and scorn from Bill Gates and every Windows fanboy for all the Vista delay jabs.
I don't care about the damn iPhone! I am a Mac user and have been longing for Leopard. I am not going to pay $500 to get a stupid phone with a 2-year contract! It's just a toy for kids! But Leopard would be the real thing, for adults! Now, you sacrifice it for a phone, you...
I am so frustrated at the moment. xxxxxxx iPhone!!!

Yeah maybe they should rename the site: Think Again
Well they have me really really really wanting to know what those new features are. I'm in no rush to get the new OS, Tiger is working fine for me. I hope they take their time, so we can get a OS without a lot of bugs.

But, in after hours trading, it's down to $89.81.
This could be a good buying opportunity - perhaps best after the quarterly results on April 25th.
I've got no money at the moment, but I might take a small bank loan out. I did this before (2 years ago) and made a profit.

I'd rather have a better refined OS than a shoved out the door one to make some quick buck...
Standing by... ;0
