Not completely right. Vista or Longhorn or a similar architecture has been on the roadmaps of MS since the unstable win98 under various names. 2000 and XP have simply been upgrades build on the NT architecture that proved to be more viable at those times. Now, almost 10 years later, they finally still didn't release the system they planned as they are still missing some vital architectural features that have been on the roadmap for years.
No, it should be ready out the box for Intel Macs and PPC macs. That would disappoint alot of people since there is still alot of people who do use PPC still. Like myself included and I would be mad if they made me wait until 10.5.xx somthing before I can get Leopard!
Lordy please let them announce the release date and a Leopard up to date program, so I can finally BUY A NEW IMAC already
I myself have about 10 PPCs, 3 of will will be getting Leopard (no Intel machines). But they made a promise for Oct, and must get it out, even if for Intels only.
But yeah, as someone else said, they need one DVD for both platforms,u nless it is a network upgrade (unlikely)

For those who remember KZEW in the DFW area, I think the month was known as "Rocktober".

I'm looking forward to the release and the great speed increases I'll see on my Intel machine. If the traffic lights stay the same bright color, I think I'll be switching to graphite...
Goes nicely at ~3.0 megabytes a second. =P
(taking longer to install then it did to download)
And you are teh one who si gonna do the actual beta testing.
As I am an experienced/smart buyer, I will wait a few months until the revision comes out. I am not going to install the new OS to face a bunch of bugs and get frustrate as every one else do when they go all "desperate" to get the first realease of anything.
I will wait a bit still.
I see everybody who is running Vista (sorry, I'm just making a point) desperate. I had a friend the other day frustrate it because he just couldn't install some elements for his 3D software, MS was asking him for a bunch of things.
Of course Apple is way beyond that but again... I will wait.
There is a good possibilities of it being released on a DVD±DL as it has the PPC and Intel versions on one. The release of OS 10.5 would be the entry to the Intel platform for myself.
HP printer drivers? Maybe I will have a non-postcript driver for my non-postscript HP Laserjet 6P!

The printer "problem" really isn't a problem.
The driver will show up as an update when you click on update.
November 9th? Did I miss something?i'm starting to get excited about leopard, finally... but i'm also seeing it as a stop gap to enjoy until the big things happen on Nov 9
Oh, wow. Though I live in the middle of America, I should've known that.
I wonder if it'll have the same success as it did here.
I'm going to request that day off.This is a RC..The GM (M67 or M69)has been done.Developers should see it wihin 2 weeks and announcement and/or timer on Apple's homepage on or before Oct. 5th.

Ooh, I have that printer.. I would be shocked if Apple suddenly started supporting such an old piece of equipment.HP printer drivers? Maybe I will have a non-postcript driver for my non-postscript HP Laserjet 6P!

Whoa there, Apple is really moving fast now!
what about the top secret features of leopard? what about the urgently needed overhaul of .mac that i hoped to come with leopard? what about ilife and iwork functions in leopard? seems there are none. if there are it's about time to strart testing them. unless they delay it again.
Gasp! I completely forgot that Apple had some secret features of Leopard that they weren't going to tell anyone about until release day... I wonder what those could be. On the other hand, I think it would be pretty cool (and sort of amusing) to see a Leopard timer on the Apple frontpage.
