and to the student…………….. – Give me a freakin break!!!! Again Tiger is still better than Vista so why not buy a Mac and then upgrade the OS when Leopard comes out – Eureka !!!! Too complicated for you ???

so you bought a MS based PC because there was a delay in the new OS from Mac – you know what stick with PC – it sounds like your intelligence is matched with Microsofts anyways.

Oh my god !!!! Get a freakin life people.

Switch back to MS if you wish – but you’ll be back cause MS is crap. For god sake just shut up about it – Leopard will be here all in good time – Tiger is still better than Vista so it is still win-win. Take a walk outside, socialize with people – just get out of your Mom’s basement and LIVE!!!!!!

You are all wrong! I’ve spoken to Apple and they have revealed to me that the true problem is that the coffee machine on the 12th floor ain’t working and they’ve had to put some OS engineers to work on it. As for the Iphone some us (non USA citizens) will get tired of waiting and stick to our Nokias, Htpc… Tiger is as good as the best so I don’t really mind the delay for I hereby declare I shall never return to Windows.

Will Apple introduce new machines with the Leopard release? Im going to buy a MacBook Pro soon, but Im wondering if Apple usually introduces new machines when the New OS comes out??? Then I might just wait some more….

we are talking about a company that has always been on the cutting edge. yeah it sucks that we are going to have to wait a few months but who cares. Apple still produces the best product and i will have my iPhone and Leapord on their respective launch dates. lets think about this wait on 10.5 or use a Microshit product….. i think that is a no brainer

I can understand why Apple chose to divert resources from the Tiger project to the iPhone. The iPhone is going to be a cash cow. If Apple makes lots of money, they remain stable. A stable Apple Corp. means Apple computers will continue to be good.

Everybody just needs to chill out here. Sure, it’s disappointing that Leopard has been delayed, but the current OS X is still way better than XP or Vista. And look at how long it took Microsoft to get Vista out anyway. And it was, to no one’s surprise, very disappointing. They delayed Longhorn forever which then became Vista and many features they were developing didn’t even make it in. They even had to copy more features from Apple (widgets=gadgets…the whole windows concept).
Also, think about how much brand recognition the iPhone is going to bring Apple. Not to mention the money. It’ll be a similar situation as with the iPod. As more people buy iPods or iPhones, the more consumers become familiar with what a great product Apple produces, and thus furthering their computer sales.
Personally I’m waiting to buy a macbook until Leopard comes out because it will most likely coincide with Apple’s usual new hardware releases in the fall.

I may never have heard such a bunch of cry babies in my life. If you are one of these people saying you are waiting to buy an apple but only with the new OS then don’t buy one. A statement like that is just stupid. OS 10.4.9 is fine I really dont see where any changes would be made to make it so much better I would be waiting since January to buy a MBP. and the “student” not buying a macbook before going to school in europe for the same reason is a arse thing to commit to saying out loud.
Please get a grip and stop the stupidty. If you can’t afford to buy the OS then I doubt you can afford a new MBP or macbook since Apple has pricing locked down and their equipment is expensive. From day one Apple has been ahead in the game, a real force in the computing industry. If you are stating that you are going back to Windows because of a OS delay please go, weekend warrior types are welcomed to get out and join the “windows hell forum” write back and tell us how great Vista is running and when LOL you will be back and if not you are just web browsing, writing emails, and letters to cleo. Anyone who uses an apple for work will be just fine with any delay for any reason. If its the iphone then so be it. The fact is that Apple software and hardware is cutting edge perfection or as best as humanly possible.
For anyone to say they are going back to windows or not buying a Apple because of this setback you won’t be missed

The main reason why a lot of windows browsers are seen to be accessing the apple store, is because us mac users at home are usually to busy using our macs to bother visiting the store. When we get to work (where a lot of us are forced to use windows PC’s) thats when we get the time to do some daydreaming…

I’ve been planning to switch from Windows to Mac for the past year, but the promise that Leopard was just around the corner held me back. Now I’m flat out not going with Apple. Jobs rambled on about the huge number of Windows users perusing the Apple online store, and how these users could be converted to Apple, but it’s like he took that evidence and– Oh look an iPhone!

When a company stuffs up this big it’s a good reason to steer clear.
