Apple Announces Leopard!

OMG!!! LEOPARD!!1!!!

I can't wait, I'm going after school the day of the launch to wait in line till 6 PM. I love Apple and how they make launches accessible to everyone instead of having a midnight launch.

Does the 10/26 release date mean that iMacs ordered on or after that date will ship with Leopard installed?

tsade

Making Pre-order!!

Can't wait...

Does the 10/26 release date mean that iMacs ordered on or after that date will ship with Leopard installed?

I think everything 10 days before the release is included.

Now I know what is my birthday present

might see a couple of you at the trafford center in Manchester, UK

I had tried holding off buying a new MBP until leopard was out and preinstalled. But now that it is officially announced and apple is offering the up to date program (you pay like $10 to update), i couldn't resist anymore.

I just purchased a Mac Mini so it qualifies for the £5 leopard disc. The disc is only supposed to be used on the qualifying Mac but do you think it will be possible to update my Macbook with this disc aswell? Obviously it wouldn't be legal or whatever but would it work? I know the install discs that come with macs only work on the sort of mac they came with but surely the leopard upgrade disc would work on any mac and because os x doesn't use activation keys and what not surely it would be possible?

Okay, a few questions:

We should see an increase in boost correct? I watched the keynote and that program they had had a HUGE photoshop file type of program and finished 21~28 seconds, the 32 bit, finished in at 81 seconds.

Also, I am thinking of selling my LED 2.2 MBP (6 weeks old) for a iMac since I do most audio (and the GPU is not as strong on iMac) but as a employee, we will get the OS free, so, I suppose it's duh to say, wait until Leopard is installed, then sell it.

I also have iWork, Ilife08, Logic, FCP on it, so how much should I get?

The 2nd question is, I wonder if the new FCP will come out - its our there - know someone who saw it - said it was very, VERY apple like, nt like iMovie 08, but Apple like non the less.

Should be interesting to see who can get this working on regular PC's.

I wonder if developers will be given a full copy of the GM release as in previous versions... anyone have news on this?

Why are there still no iTunes 7 scrollbars? Isn't Leopard going to look like the iPhone/iPod Touch UI (iTunes 7 scrollbars, buttons, etc).

I don't see why Apple didn't seed this yet...

theres a typo in the image. it says featues not features . silly apple

Why is the clock counting down from 10/26/07@5:58PM CST. It seams like an odd time to launch the OS.

It's counting down to 6 PM, not 5:58 (still a weird time though). Maybe 6 cause it's the 6th version of OSX? Or cause people will be done with work/school? eh, who cares, it'll be here on the 26th and that's good enough for me.

Should have made it 13:37. LOL

and so what is the final build? I am four days away from being able to get it for $10. Your order had to ship on Oct 1st to get it for that, and mine went out 4 days before. DOH!

Anyone who bought a Mac on or after October 1st will be able to upgrade to Leopard for free, with a $10 fee for shipping. Apple posted details regarding this "Up-to-date" system today.

Can anyone link to that widget in the 1st posts pic. I looked for it and can't find it.

It's called WebClip.

CURSE YOU!!! Is there no way to export those as widgets?

I tried copying it out of the widget folder but when you run it, it just says "WebClip Widgets are created with Library," has an option to launch safari, then kills itself.
