Mac OS X Leopard, iLife, and iWork Coming in June 2007?

I found this post by MacPomme very interesting

While he may be wrong, he makes some great points. Well worth reading.

As he says - Apple may have tied the new OS development into some new hardware developments (just as the iPhone ties software and hardware development together). If this was so, a demonstration of Leopard would stop people buying the old hardware.

Thanks for posting that, interesting read. There is definintely more to Leopard than we know.

I think iLife will become a part of Leopard itself, and stop being sold as a seperate product.

Microsoft Windows Vista include many programs that rival iLife products, so Apple has to repond accordinally.

I say end of May...give at least 2 weeks for developers! (Though they've been using the beta for a while).

BTW, AppleGazette is also posting the multi-touch rumor.

iLife comes with new Macs right now...I agree with you it should just come with the OS.

Though iWork is a pro app, and should be somewhat separate.

Apple Store down?

Anyone else having trouble connecting to the apple store web site? I get an error message for both UK and US sites - not the usual we're busy updaint banner. I know this is not an issue with my connection, otherwise I would not be able to post this.

I hope you're right. I think I would try it at that point. However, I'll still need word and excel because of all the damn macro's I have.

I can connect to apple.com but the store gives a Http/1.1 Service Unavailable message and the Apple discussion boards are resonding very slowly if at all. I'm guessing a technical problem rather than t new product/update :-(

It can't be the flood of people updating to DRM free music since that is not possible until next month.

Well I bought a Mac Pro and I only have a trial version of iLife, so perhaps it just comes with consumer models?

 

[Chris Bangle]

someones killed the apple store

Yeah the Apple website is fine, but the store returns that http/1.1 that macinfojunkie mentioned for me as well.

I received a full copy of iLife with my Macbook Pro C2D (and previously with a Power Mac) so it is certainly not limited to the consumer only models. The copy of iWork that came with all the Macs I have purchased since it was available have been trial versions though.

Strange though, I don't recall that ever happening.

Apple store error for me too.

Spring in the Northern Hemisphere is from March 21 to June 21.

i am quite sure too that an american company would have no interest or reason to say spring and refer not to its own borders, but that of a faraway place. either way, it is good as i would rather have it sooner than in october or so...

Maybe it was the equivalent of a Friday afternoon car?

Apple store is back up but very slow.

It used to be a running joke in the auto industry that a car which was sub par - or had some parts missing was constructed during the Friday afternoon shift at the auto plant. The inference being that the workers were rushing it to get out of the door for the weekend.
