OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Delayed

Apr 12, 2007 8:50AM PDT

Apple released an update today, regarding the release of Leopard.

In part it said that they had borrowed resources from the Leopard team to complete the iPhone project.
It went on to say:

While Leopard's features will be complete by then, we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers expect from us. We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October. We think it will be well worth the wait. Life often presents tradeoffs, and in this case we're sure we've made the right ones.

So, for all you folks that ask when they should buy a new machine, or when the new OS will be released, you have an answer.

The problem with waiting for the perfect time is... there is rarely, if ever, a perfect time! Especially when looking at computer equipment.
