Leopard to ship in October

[adsl3g]

Apple Statement
iPhone has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We can’t wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is. However, iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price — we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned. While Leopard's features will be complete by then, we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers expect from us. We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October. We think it will be well worth the wait. Life often presents tradeoffs, and in this case we're sure we've made the right ones. [Apr 12, 2007]

I wonder if we will be able to download a beta copy in June?

You can download a beta copy right now if you know where to download :-D

bwana, so I ended up not even trying to copy OSX over to the new disc. By the time I had finished opening the Mini up and, with my thick little fingers got the hard drive into that small hole, and got everything back together, I decided I don't want to mess about any more. Popped the DVD in, loaded OSX, put the old disc in my USB enclosure, and drag&dropped the contents of my user dir and /Applications

Done

You won't even noticed the machine was reloaded - I'm so pleased!

Try and do that with a M$ operating system

Glad it worked out well.

I'm pretty sure you could have used the migration assistant too

NO! NO! NO!

In my current job I do support on linux servers. Everything is done remotely, so my tools are a console, ssh, telnet and a web browser (for the CRM/ticketing system). Naturally, I have linux on my workstation. I haven't touched or even seen windows in three months. Bliss.....
