Apple’s Leopard Resembling Vista 2.0 in Unlikely Ways
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkTuesday, August 8, 2006
Apple touted its new version of operating system Leopard as Vista 2.0 . Their marketing gimmick may come back to bite them. Apple has pulled a stunt we are habituated to see with Microsoft.
As tuaw found out Apple delayed Mac OS X 10.5’s ship date to Spring 2007. It was originally promised for Fall 2006.
Having said that I am looking forward to some of the promised Leopard features like:
Time Machine - Automatic versioning system for your hard-disk
Spotlight - Spotlight will now be able to search other machines on your network, do Boolean search and launch applications for you.
Virtual desktop Spaces - Lets you combine task-based applications into separate logical desktop configurations.

As the first dozen commenters on the linked article said, I can’t remember Apple ever making an official statement about Leopard’s release date before now, they certainly never said it would be ready in Fall, and never even said it would come out before Vista. This is the problem with rumour sites - it’s far too easy for some wishful thinking that’s been repeated by a few dozen rumour sites to suddenly acquire the aura of fact. |
