Apple Officially Announces Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

As a Japanese, the addition of Japanese and English-Japanese dictionaries alone is huge ! It alone costs $50 or something if you buy it separately, right ? How much does it cost to get New American Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus digitally ?
Anyhow, thank you for paying for my Japanese dictionary, you guys
I'm Swedish, but I was VERY glad to see the inclusion of Japanese dictionaries in Leopard. I'd love them to add Korean dictionaries as well, but I guess that might take a while. Ah well, the Japanese dictionaries will be extremely helpful nonetheless
I don't know... Autosaving in a basic, free-with-the-OS text editor is not common.
TextEditor is becoming quite useful. Spell check, grammar check, ODF support, autosave etc...
I never even knew that there was a student discount. Go figure (@me, not any of you or apple)
Anyone heard about any sort of store event like what they did for Tiger? I'll try to read/search through the 32 pages of this thread.

yes there is supposed to be a Leopard event at 6PM in all the apple stores
That's 6pm local time so we'll have it installed when you'll still be having your lunch!
Kidding on because I've got a clunky old iMac G3 so Tiger is the end of the road for it.
Good excuse to go and get a MacBook for my birthday/Christmas
Killer New Feature!!!
Just noticed this most of the way down on the 300+ new features page...
Hot Corner for Sleep Display
Get more use out of those hot corners. In addition to launching Exposé or starting a screen saver, you can now use hot corners to put your display to sleep.
Does this mean FINALLY there's a way to put an iMac's display to sleep?!?!

Playing with Leopard and trying to work 40 hours a week.students should be doing there homework right ? not playing with leopard
One of my friend is going to the US to visit a friend next week. I'll purchase Leopard on amazon at $109 and have it delivered at his friend's place. That's
76.68. If I'd have bought it in France, I would have paid 129 !!! That's over 40% off !!!
WOOOHOOOOO

Apple's greed is changing my opinion and loyalty to them... usr since '92 - they always 'came through' for me in the past - now it seems they just want to 'stick it to us'
Example: iphone initial price..
is 1.2ghz better than 867mhz???
Sure is

There was an online article a few weeks ago using iPod's to show changes in prices over the world. The article listed a lot of countries concluding the cheapest spot for a 4GB nano (USD$149) was Hong Kong (cheaper than the US) and the most expensive Brazil (more than double).
My point in all of this ? The Leopard copy I pre-ordered cost me $128, for the standard version. I saved $1 off the US-listed price.
Just because a company is making a lot of money right now doesn't mean they should lower their prices because your not... don't you know how the world works ?

Apparently Leopard doesn't include spell-check.
In the list of 300 features, under Parental Controls:
"Dynamic Web Filter
Protect your children from websites with unsuitable content. Apple technology automatically trys to detect inappropriate content and prevents those web pages from appearing."
"trys"?!
The big question is, does it protect children from unsuitable spelling?

Isn't it illegal for the shipping company (i'm guessing its UPS) to deliver it before the release date? how can people have gotten tiger before the release date?
One can hope that they make a mistake on me... i'd love my leopard on wednesday night!

Your welcome... Anytime...
Me too...I've had a few software surprises like that, the best of which was a day early GTA San Andreas delivery
I'm a college student paying for everything on my own.
I bought Leopard at $116. Was I dissapointed? A bit. Am I going to whine about it? No!
I'm getting a discount, on an already comparitively cheap piece of wonderful software that I am choosing to PRE-ORDER. Come on people! It isn't even out yet--why make a big deal about the cost and you not being able to afford it? Wait, then! It's called priorities. If you need money for groceries, buy groceries. You don't "need" a new operating system. Tiger works wonderfully.
You're in the real world now, everything isn't handed to you at half cost. Be glad you get anything off, and be glad you have the opportunity to go to school and actually considering purchasing a piece of software (even before it's out) and posting on a forum about how sad you are that it'll cost a bit more.

Yes, that's AWESOME! I've wanted that to be built into the OS ever since I got my first Mac. (an eMac)
I found this awesome app called Dockables that lets you put icons in your dock for sleep, restart, display sleep, etc. I don't have it in my dock, though. I assigned the display sleep to a keyboard shortcut using QuickSilver. It's a good solution to use until Leopard arrives. I've been using it a while now.
