Apple’s OS X Leopard Slips, Missed Opportunity To Shame Vista
Rats. I guess Apple has just announced that the latest version of OS X, Leopard, won’t ship in spring as originally promised but will emerge in October, after the WWDC.
This is a bummer because I was hoping to see Vista, delayed forever, staggering like a wounded deer, humiliated by the awesomeness of OS X, leaving mainstream shoppers looking at both and going home with the latter.
I hope the delay, and inference that the iPhone is more important, isn’t a symptom of a new Apple that focuses more on consumer products like the iPods and iPhone at the expense of Mac computers and OS X. Even though Apple did drop “computer” from its name and I accept this as a fact of today’s market environment, it’s still rather irksome to someone who has been a hardcore user of Apple computers since, well, the Apple IIe back in the 1980s, to see a phone get priority over what looks to be an awesome operating system upgrade.
I suppose in the meantime we’ll just have to enjoy the iRack.
