OS X Leopard Ships On October 26th
David in AZ writes "According to the Apple website, Mac OS X Leopard will start shipping on October 26! From their blurb: 'Packed with more than 300 new features, Mac OS X Leopard goes on sale Friday, October 26, at 6:00 p.m. at Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers, Apple announced today. And, beginning today, customers can place pre-orders on Apple's online store. "Leopard, the sixth major release of Mac OS X, is the best upgrade we've ever released," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "And everyone gets the 'Ultimate' version, packed with all the new innovative features, for just $129.""
I will keep the Gutsy Gibbon on my Mac Mini. Thanks anyway.
Why does it cost me so much for a point release is what I want to know and why aren't people lambasting Apple for such?

All aboard the hype-train! Next stop, RDF station.
That's certainly too cruel. Apple always makes some nice advances to their system and especially their system libraries. There are some nice things they're talking about with the new version, but I think the greatest trick is to get $100+ from mac fans every two years or so. The short cycle seems a bit exhausting.

I call rubbish. Look under Boot Camp. They are counting Leopard's ability to read and write FAT 32 as a new feature. For all I know, it's probably been there since 10.0, maybe in previous versions of Mac OS.
i hate to be the one to bring it up, but Ubuntu 7.10 won't cost me a dime...
...vividly encapsulates that post-Watergate/pre-punk/coked-up moment when you could trust no one, least of all yourself.
(I know, I know, I'll probably get modded as flamebait because you'll think I'm saying Ubuntu is equivalent to a nasty couch. I'm not. Just saying that being free isn't everything, unless you are really seriously broke. But you can mod me as flamebait if you please, it's ok)
