What's more about the "secret features"?

p.s: any new beta in the wild?

I hope it's true. It would be wicked cool if they bundled iLife with Leopard! Free upgrade yeah baby yeah!

i miss the stable staff..

there were rumors about leopard to be released on july, on september and october. what's next? on may? i wouldn't be surprised if they release it tomorrow...

now... jokes apart, other yummy features are:

Zfs

full 64bit OS with complete compatibility with 32bit apps and kexts

If the EU goes after MS for bundling WMP, Apple may face trouble if trying to do that.

I doubt it, looking at the relative market shares

I hope! I'm leaving for the middle east at the end of june, and was hoping to buy a new Macbook prior to departure. I've been waiting on Leopard though

Well if Apple keep to their word of a "spring release", then it has to come out before 21 June. So hopefully you'll be ok

well it'd be nice if this wasn't true, and it came out before June.....but either way....looking forward to it

Any idea how much it will sell for on the apple site ?

Odds are that it will go for the normal $130.

Apple has kept that pricing for a rather long time and it really seems to be the sweet spot.

If Apple does add the iLife Apps to Leopard, I would really not be surprised if the price went up to $200.

It is my impression though that most people do not upgrade their OS until they buy a new computer simply out of a lack of knowledge. Frankly the idea seems to scare the less literate out there. Personally I am having the hardest time trying to get my girl to let me put Tiger on her iBook even though just a few days ago she lost (as in misplaced) a paper she was writing and thought that it was accidentally deleted instead of stored in the other class folder.

And if she would have an issue to letting me put an OS that has already been out for nearly 2 years (oh my god! it has been a long time!)... I don't know.

Well, take that as you may. I think that their major sales will come from new purchases simply because ZFS is certain to be a MAJOR part of the new OS and it can certainly be pretty difficult to convince someone to reformat their hard disk no matter how many bullet points you put on the side of the box or tools that you add to "guarentee" that everything will be okay.

There are still people out there who have an issue using Migration Assistant to copy their Applications and perfer to redownload/reinstall even when everything is up to date.

/me think hopes that soon enough, apple would be releasing its own x86 architecture Leopard..

Well this isn't happening...lol

Well this isn't happening...lol

Precisely why a site like thinksecret.com should never be used as a news source.

Oh My! Its ThinkSecret!
