Apple to Unveil New Leopard OS in August
Max Fomitchev writes "Looks like Apple is going to reveal its new cool and fast Mac OS code-named 'Leopard' in the upcoming World Developer's Conference in August. Good news for Apple! And terrible news for Microsoft. If 'Leopard' is really what it claims to be, i.e. fast and efficient, in sharp contrast to slow and resource hungry Windows Vista, we certainly would see Apple's remarkable market share gain next year."
I bought APPL at $16 and thought I was quite the savvy trader when I sold it at $35. I think it was right about the time it hit the upper $70s and split I realized I was an idiot (an idiot who doubled his investment, but still an idiot)

Are you the guy who sent me the e-mails that shares of APPL are predicted by experts to go up 500% in the next 90 days and that APPL was a great buy right now?
I'm waiting for the release called "Pete Puma"!
Yeeeeeeeeeeee.
"My God...it's full of trolls!"
...they release OS X Liger.
I'd rather have someone respond than be modded up.
If I had a dollar for every new up and coming MP3 player that was supposed to be an iPod killer, I'd be able to buy an iPod.
There's not a lot of meat to this article
No, but it's Leopard Meat! They go mad for it!

Microsoft released their Leper OS years ago
MS has announced that they'll have an iPod killer out by Christmas, but they cleverly didn't say Christmas of which year. If Vista and Office are any indication, look for the msPod in late 2007.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
I wasn't aware that "cool and fast" was an OS feature.
Since when is a 10% (plus or minus; feel free to correct me with solid info) marketshare remarkable?
As soon as someone remarks upon it.
With Windows, I know that the step from 2000 to XP is significant because the names are way different. Similar with XP and Vista. But seriously, how can I expect something significant going from Tiger to Leopard?
BTW, I guess I can blame my ignorance, because as a long-time Linux user, I only view Windows and MacOS/X from afar.
Yesterday was the time to do it right. Are we having a REVOLUTION yet?
I've known this for weeks as well, but when you get down to it, it's the discussion that matters. Sites like macrumors or digg (which had this story a week ago) have discussion ranging from "OMG!!1!! Teh Steveness!!" to "It'll have 4D graphics and ship two days after WWDC!!". On /. there will be discussion based on more reasonable features, and identify technical hurdles.
