Leopard's Release Date (Poll)

how about may tenth? (--> 10-5, in EU standards that is )

Leopard will not be announced, and the only preview you might see would be a preview of Final Cut features that specifically require Leopard.

Hence, Final Cut running on Leopard, so both are annouced

Leopard announced at NAB and shipping early June, methinks.

For those voting for a WWDC release, wouldn't that collide with the iPhone release? It would be odd, I think, for Apple to release the iPhone and Leopard at the same time, since they are both major, highly anticipated products.

June @ WWDC.

...NAB just wouldn't make sense, and there just isn't any other feasible time unless Apple holds a special event (unlikely).

WWDC receives all of the hype and publicity. It makes the most sense.

Apple IS holding a "special event" at the Venetian ( which is 80,000 sq.ft. ) April 15th from 11AM-12:30PM..Apple isn't going to spend more than likely 2 hours showing off Final Cut and a new MBP..They have other stuff up their sleeve.

That "special event" is being held at NAB, correct? I just don't see Apple sharing Leopard's spotlight with the Final Cut (especially not within a 1.5 hour timeframe). Plus, Apple would be releasing their biggest product for the year along with hundreds of other products from different companies, who would undoubtedly steal some of Apple's publicity.

If Apple releases Leopard before WWDC, I would expect the release at a special event dedicates purely to Leopard.

...Although I wouldn't rule out discovering one or two of the "secret features" at NAB.

Voted June, expect 15th, still if we don't see anything about it at NAB, its possible WWDC will be Jobs showing off 10.5, then give us a ship date. Possible in June, but not that day

Paul Thurrott's "Windows Super Site" has this:

"Mac OS X "Leopard" 10.5 (May)"

He's usually in the know about Windows products, but I don't know how in the loop he is about Mac ones..not sure where he gets the May date

 

[kiang]

I'm really putting my money on 10 may(10.5-->10/05=10 may)
the WWDC will be about the iPhone and I'm geussing a new iPod/a new iMac design.
