You’re being told on this page: Apple - Mac OS X Leopard

Is that your e-mail?

never. Apple abandoned Leopard, because everyone bitched about transparency.

I wonder how this dock folder view opens with the dock at the side of the screen ... but then I wonder more why Apple insists on placing it at the bottom by default with all these wide screens where you have limited height but plenty width.

Wow, it's amazing how people can know that a product sucks months before it's actual release. There are a LOT of smart people in this forum...

Since no one answered his question, the answer is "October".

Maybe...

...There are also a lot of people with access to the Seeding program, and who might have first-hand knowledge of the product.

And why do they say that? Because it’s the last of October. And why did they pick the last of October? Because they have no more info than “October”and want to be on the safe side (and don’t want customers to complain).

Basic marketing. Next please.

Amazon has also accurately leaked plenty of other product launches.

The recent Canon cameras, Adobe CS3, Windows Home Server, and OS X Tiger come to mind.

Cool. But I think Moonray is right on this occasion. It's not a Tuesday, which is a regular day for Apple to do stuff, and it IS the last of the month, indicating some butt covering.

Does anyone think at the conference in September they will announce that new iMacs can have the Leopard for free? Like give us a voucher? Or better yet do you think they will give a release date?

Apple released Tiger on Friday, April 29, 2005. That's when I switched. Leopard might be released at the party on Friday, October 26, 2007 if Apple does what it did with Tiger.

They also leaked the MacBook C2Ds I think. They listed it a few hours before the official release by Apple.
Signature depreciated.

And whenever Apple says what month its being released it always seems to be the last day... and why are Apple events always on Tuesdays?
