Oct 16
Apple.com had a cat nap for an hour or two this evening and when she woke she announced the release date for Leopard.
OS X Leopard can be pre-ordered now for the full sum of €129.
I’m going to wait until I upgrade the RAM on my Macbook before plunging for Leopard. Coincidentally, I ordered two new iMacs for work on Thursday. I was half tempted to wait until Leopard was released before ordering but it’s probably best to use the tried and tested Tiger for development work rather than entering the unknown.
A few weeks ago we took Leopard for a spin, check out the Leopard Preview.

If you buy a qualifying Mac on or after October 1st which doesn’t come with Leopard, Apple will send you an upgrade for €8.95. There’s more information here: http://www.apple.com/ie/macosx/uptodate/

Yeah, I saw that last night. Happy days.

I’ve been given serious consideration to getting an iMac, but I want to get rid of my HP Desktop first. As soon as I find a buyer, it’s gone, and I’ll be Windows free!

Damn! I bought my Mac back in August, so I’ll have to pay full whack for the upgrade

The full whack isn’t that much though in fairness. How much do MS charge for an upgrade from XP to Vista? It’s probably at least twice the €129 Apple are charging (and it’s crap, as in Vista is crap)

Maybe, but I’d be covered by the company’s subscription
