Leopard comes out.


Now I'm just sitting here hoping that they'll upgrade their MacBook Pro line-up along with it, rather than just shipping them with the updated OS on their current hardware.

An expensive service pack.... ;)

Won't cost me a dime though!

Been waiting on this to come out before purchasing the MacBook Pro I've been eyeing, which albeit is still expensive as hell for my tastes, but I want to dive out of Windows for once in my life, and figured Macs have finally gotten to that level for me, thanks to boot camp, which I hear is now natively supported in Leopard........which hopefully means no hassle for when I get out of the pool and have to boot into windows to use Photoshop, which I can't be arsed to repurchase for the mac platform.

Its not a service pack - its almost all new : New desktop, OpenGL etc etc. A service pack just improves the current OS.

Ordered the Family Pack and now its a nail-biting 12 day wait to get it.

Yes, it is apparently, according to the email I've got :)

When asked, many companies are going down the 'wait and see' route - its almost as though they never bothered getting the beta version to test their programs on.

Case in point is Freeverse - on enquiring whether X-Words and BBBG work, the offical reply was 'We'll know when its out'.

On enquiring whether they did have the preview of 10.5, they replied that they did.

So, they had the beta of 10.5, but haven't bothered testing there Mac programs :(
