“The latest Digitimes.com rumor has hit the Mac web again. The claim this time is that Apple is delaying Mac OS X Leopard until October 2007,” MacRumors’ Arnold Kim blogs for Normalkid.
Kim looks at five years of Digitimes rumors reported on MacRumors over the past 5 years along with their outcomes and finds: “14 rumors total. 1 True. 10 Wrong. 2 Possible. 1 Unknown.”
Kim concludes, “I’ll leave it to the reader to decide how likely it is that this latest rumor will come true.”

Apple to postpone Mac OS X Leopard until October in order to support Windows Vista? – March 23, 2007
Ya know tru kafloog!
Right. And my Apple TV came with a vibrator.
Fuk U!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Leopard delay until October would be a huge PR disaster. It would turn Leopard into LONGHORN on a dime and make Apple look foolish, and all because it wants WINDOWS to run differently in BootCamp. NOT!!!
like i said, if iwork ’07 is so dependent on leopard features (were it not, probably would have been released already, right), why would apple delay an operating system on which a product dependent that apple is consistant on updating. i know it’s confusing, but think about it.
I think we know the difference between a rumor and a lie.
MW:sense
…hard to imagine Apple delaying OSX.5 beyond the back to school buying season ……once I got delayed so long I was beside myself …then after a second delay ….I became beside my second self …..at that point it gets difficult to keep things straight. I think Digitimes.com is probably at the point of being beside their second selves …you can’t think in a straight line ….you can’t think in a crooked line …..you just start publishing shit on the internet.
analyssssssssssssssssts want a buying opportunity before the iPhone–Leopard–iTV critical mass conflux… The MS beast is truly afraid…
MW: “range” as in–Bill Gates just hired a hit man.
Well it will keep the windows trollers happy for a bit…
Tech tabloidism. They should hire Enderle.
Leopard will be here for us in 11 days. You’ll see.
MDN magic word: “early”. Enough said.
> like i said, if iwork ’07…
Who ever said iWork (and iLife) would be updated every year? For all we know, it could be released in the second half of the year and be called iWork (and iLife) ’08. Or it could be released with regular version numbers, which I would prefer.
At this point, June at WWDC seems most likely. Besides, many of the session at the WWDC are about working with Leopard. How is Apple going to do that, if Leopard is not shipping until October?
Well…it seems the tables have turned Mac fanboys! I guess now that its been shown that Mac OS is just as suspepable to viruses as Windows, apple needs to spend a few extra months trying to think on what they is going to do! i thought so! plus, you still can’t use Macintoshes for gaming machines!
@VistaRocks!!!
Dream on troller… Dream on…
Major FUD alert!! LOL
I can under stand a June delivery. I would really hate it cause I need to upgrade 3 systems and it would be nice if I can do it for one price (I need to know if the 900 mhz iBook can be upgraded to 10.5 also.).
And June is still officially spring, but just barely and the iPhone connection must be considered. But October, come one, how about Dec, or next year???
Hey, what do you think this is, MicroLate. ??? LOL
I’m not sure what the point of deadlines in a thing like making a program. Me, I’d rather have apple 100% happy and confident in the program they release. That they would feel pressured by marketing or competition to release a mostly ok system is nuts!
If they feel the need to meet a spring release, then sell all new coomputers from that point with a free-system10.5 coupon.
Peter,
What Apple does to make deadlines is postpone unannounced features. Anything you’ve seen in a public demo of Leopard will be there, but unless you’re internal to Apple, you’ll never know what was intended for Leopard and got pushed to 10.6.
Apple will make their announced ship date. The question is just how much more will be in Leopard by then than we’ve already seen.

–“2GB and 4GB iPod Shuffles (2005) – Partially True – 2GB and 4GB Nanos”–
Partially true? I don’t think so. A shuffle (I own one) has NO SCREEN. A Nano is not kind of like a shuffle. It makes no sense to make a shuffle bigger than 1 GB.
Make that 11 wrong!

Apple has already put over 100 session dedicated to Leopard for WWDC this June. All that to say developers: “Oh, and by the way, wait till October” ????????
They are going to receive a Leopard Preview, WWDC version as it happened with Tiger. And release soon after as it happened with Tiger.
History repeating.
Vistarocks???
I see your pc is suspepable to not having a spell checker.
Your dad will be mad if you he knows your on his computer.
Update your myspace and get back to your xbox.
As for the Rumor, its just that, Jobs has it under control boys and girls…Just wait, Its going to be fun!!!!
A concerned parent thought….
Wait – the guy that is blogging this report of a rumor is the owner of MacRumors.com the most untrustworthy rumors site out there!
(From the website: “My name is Arnold Kim and this is my blog.I am the founder and chief editor of MacRumors.com.”)
LOL! A bad rumors website complaining about rumors on another rumors website….
————–
Oh yeah, and Apple is too slow to bring out new products.
@Tacoma: “I see your pc is suspepable to not having a spell checker.”
LOL.
Attention Tacoma – before you complain about other´s spelling errors learn to spell yourself.
It is “susceptible”, not “suspepable”.
LOL. And let us not discuss your grammar and sentence structure. Sheesh!
The Graphic Artist, formerly known as Randy Thompson –
Sheesh, Take a look at who that was directed at, “VistaRocks” and his post
before you take me to task. As for grammar, this is the last time I use the
word (if it is one) Sheesh again.
Anywho…good morning Randy and have a great day.
Just a I have had too much caffeine thought…
@Roomer
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought MacRumors mainly just reported on all the rumors on the web, not really reporting rumors of their own…
just trying to be balanced, you know…
I will laugh my white-italian-latino @$$ when Leopard delivers on time and puts a cork on this idiot’s mouth.
“Delayed because of Vista”… GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!
