New Version of Mac OS X Leopard Leaked

the linux geek writes "InfoWorld has an article informing us that an early beta of Mac OS X 10.5 has been leaked. This appears to be the same build Steve Jobs previewed at WWDC, and contains most of the new features, including Time Machine and Spaces." From the article: "Attendees at last week's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) received copies of the beta ware and had to sign legally binding agreements not to let Leopard stray onto file-sharing networks. Perhaps someone didn't read the not-so-fine print? MacUser reports that this version of Leopard is indeed legit, unlike a fake one that was reportedly making its rounds last week. The version of Leopard available on BitTorrent is 4.3GB, containing 93 files."

Time Machine really works!

Tiger was also leaked a couple of years ago.

Who didn't see this coming? Expect Apple Legal to have a field day with this one. :)

Glad this article's on Slashdot

I've been waiting ages for this to download, now that it's on Slashdot we'll get more seeders!

Listens out for the sound of Bittorrent clients starting up...

Leopard will help Slashdot

Leopard's system-wide grammar checker will help reduce the pressure on Slashdot's overworked Grammar Nazis. ;o)

BTW, I installed Windows Vista Beta Preview a couple of weeks ago, just for fun and it confirmed what I had anticipated - I will not be buying an upgrade to Windows Vista, nor will I purchase any machine with it pre-installed.

I also install early betas of operating systems and base my purchasing decisions on that experience. So I haven't bought a new OS since 1992.

And now . . .

[drum roll]

There were rumours that Bit Torrent would be integrated into Leopard. In reality it looks like Leopard's been integrated into Bit Torrent.

Thanks, I'll be here all week
