for all you microsquish people - your next operating system looks like it "might" be available on January 30, 2007.
good luck with it.

Us mac people are looking forward to Leopard in the Spring sometime. Of course many of the "new" things on vista - we've had for awhile :D

Knowing that Apple took everyone by surprise by releasing the Intel Mac almost a year before anticipated.. just imagine... Leopard... for x-mas... ;)

Wendy, Ray and Bruce,
I don't care about vistaschmista. I want Lightroom. I was testing WinB3, but had to uninstall due to instabilities causing the 'puter to hang durning shut down.

I have a feeling 10.5 will be out early. Too much of a tease to showcase the new features and then keep us waiting until 'Spring'; whenever that is! Are any of the Macsters here going to pounce on Leopard on the day of its release or wait a while to see how it performs?

..or already have access to the beta.. ? ;)

I have two Mac (a desktop and a laptop), so what I do usually is install new stuff on the laptop, see how it goes. Then decide to update (or not) the desktop.

I'll probably do the same as Ray :)

Sadly, I only have the one Mac. Still, I wasn't apprehensive about installing Tiger when it came out, so I probably will join the figurative queue in the rain :)

My prognostication - Leopard will come out at the January MacWorld Exp.
I usually give it a couple of months for a shakedown before I get shakendown for the cost.
