Leopard going to be released after the 26th?

Although I'm looking forward to it as much as anyone in the Mac culture, I don't want to get it "on time" only to find it fraught with bugs that make it problematic to run. So if there are difficulties getting rid of the worst offenders, I have empathy for the authors of OS X 10.5.0 and am willing to cut them as much slack as they need to get the GM right rather than now.

i agree. but it seems most of the big bugs are fixed. i'm sure 10.5.1 will be out 2 weeks later anyways

I predict that if it doesn't come out soon, when it does come out there will be a lot of "Buy now or wait?" threads from people waiting for Leopard before they upgrade their PCs.

seems like there already are those threads.

Then at the MWSF'06 he gave a specific date of April 2007.

Source?

I am fairly certain this is not true. I think stuff like "April 2007" release date is a product of the Mac rumor sites echochamber.

They'll always be with us! If Leopard comes out late when products are already mid-cycle, I reckon there'll be a lot more.

What I cannot figure out is why so many people post, "Should I buy now or wait?" Or, "Should I buy an iMac or MacBook?"

Only they know their situation.
