MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Oh. Hell. No.

MW: 'attack'

Noooooo!!!!!

Damn.

Oh dear.

ouch is right MDN....ouch

MW: 'problem'...Cupertino, we have a problem

Growth has its price. Apple's stock price will go down...

Still, it is undoubtedly the right decision...

April 1st....is two weeks ago....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well that sucks weiner.

In the great words of Darth Vader...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!

I'm predicting another buying opportuntiy for AAPL in the near future.

Gosh darn it!

Note to Apple: 17"MBP purchase now put off until October 2007.

I, for one, am glad that they are doing the right thing...

However, will this ruin any chance of getting a major number of switchers from Windows? It may just be too much time for people to wait... they will just "get Vista instead".

AHHH-HAAAA-HAAAAA-HAAAAAAA. OH. HOOOOO! HOOOOOO!
Oh! Watta Chihuahua! Blaa! Blaa! HAAAAA! HAAAAA! Chickamoni Tickina maya tookusabaloney!

fskers!

btw.. Derin's a puss.

Saw it coming all along. Even the very latest Leopard client release. What seems to be problematic at this point is keeping it universal, as in backwards compatible.

Then, when it finally comes out, some people will say- "all that wait for this?"

You watch.

I'm just glad Apple said October instead of "fall" so we are spared MDN take and MDN take parsing what "fall" means.

This will definitely affect revenue forecasts from Wall Street. The stock will take a hit.

Long term, Apple is making the right choice. Leopard NEEDS to be a near perfect, revolutionary release or Apple will jeopardize the built-up momentum and good will.

I just hope they plan to get people excited about the hardware again by updating the current line of Macs. October is a long time to wait for new hardware.

I never owned a cell phone and have no interest whatsoever on those devices.
Wanna know what I think about the iPhone?

Wise decision. Why split the spotlight among two very, very major products from your company? More is riding on the successful launch of the iPhone than Leopard. Doesn't make sense to have two compelling products competing for attention at the same time.

So, on the one hand soooooooooo many people posting to this site castigated and chastized and utterly lambasted Adobe for "being late" with CS3. They said that new MacPro sales would finally accelerate and pick up once CS3 shipped because it would get here AFTER Leopard.

Well, lawwwwwwwdy, Miss Kitty! Now it's APPLE who's LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

My oh my oh myyyyyyy . . . the shoe's on the other foot now.

I wonder what Chizen is doing right about now? Hmmmmm . . . let's see . . . I'd say he's most likely . . .

LAUGHING HIS ASS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the source for this? June, July, August, September and October. That is not a minor slip, seems like a major slide. I have a hard time believing this.

This is the best thing that Apple could have done in order to ship a quality product. If it was not delayed, Leopard would be compared to Vista's problems -- making Apple synonymous with Microslacker. Definitely not a good comparison.

I applaud making the hard decision.

As much as I hate the wait, I agree it is better to ship late rather than ship a buggy product.


Does this mean we'll eventually see a 10.4.10?

Peace.

I sure hope it's a fake, but the press release sounds real.

I can't find any thing regarding this on Apple's site... am I missing it?

Darn!
Good thing none of us EVER made fun of Longhorn/Vista.

This sucks.

I don't need no 'stinkin iPhone - what I need is a big, powerful Mac than can run PS3 and my 44 inch-wide printers.

I am reminded that this is NO LONGER Apple computer - it's an entertainment company.

We need balance between gadgets and real computers here. And, October is tooooo late.

It's on Apple's news page. Looks like it's for real.

-jcr

Look. I'm looking forward to 10.5 ocelot or whatever its called... But let me tell you, ill take stablen functional, and working.

Why? I installed Vista for compat testing, and its so bad, its hard to fathom.

If apple was to release something as bad, it wouldn't do apple - or you or me - a damn bit of good.

10.4.9 is rock-hard stable and 10.5 will be here in October.... Apple could be in a way worse position.

How about the links to MDN's poo-pooing of suggestions that Lepoard wouldn't be happening spring at all. i am sure there were a few!!


Oh the endless debate of when spring is, was, or will be. FYI fall runs from Sept 21 to Dec 21 approx.

And you guys were so quick to dismiss the rumors. Tsk, tsk.

AAPL already down over a dollar since the close.

Two and a half years...it must now have "must have" revolutionary features in order to get my purchase.
I also will HAVE to have a peek at the secret features in June for them to get my money in October. I am disappointed, to say little, as the time it has taken compared to previous releases is way to long. I am hoping for the iPhones success, but should its success affect and determine my operating system? Absolutely not!
The computer hardware should come first and the OS second, and consumer electronics third. Depressing!

I'd like to remind you all the CS3 runs beautifully on 10.4.9.
..aaaaaand AAPL is already down almost 2 bucks in extended hours...

Bugger.

Listen, as long as Apple isn't FOUR years late with a bloated, non-working OS, I'm not complaining. Tiger still serves me quite well. I'll wait.

MW: Rest, as in: Rest assured, Leopard will be here and it will once again leave MS in the dust (not that Tiger doesn't already).

Apples Leopard Page still says spring.

Oh well, better to see Leopard delayed by 3-4 months compared to Vista which was delayed by 3-4 years!!!

Aaarrgh, it's on apple.com now too. I can't believe it. They're pulling a Longhorn on us.
I was waiting for 10.5 so longingly... :(

Oh well looks like we'll be shelling out extra bucks for 10.5 in October instead of getting it for free in the next hardware update.

We would freek if it was flushed out the door in M$oft syle.

Because of the delay, the "secret" features better be pretty damn special. I'd rather have a good solid OS release so the delay is fine but along with that, mine and many other's expectations have gone up.

Do you think at the June event, they will anounce the "Top Secret" features??

and maybe they will say "all Macs sold from now, will recieve free 10.5 ??

So much for iLife 07'. Might as well make it 2008.

If true, that was a really Microsoft thing to do. Lots of crow to be eaten by those who blasted MS for being late. Don't care about a phone, do care about computers.

I am sick of IT companies delaying operating systems!!!!!!!! I guess Apple is no different from microsoft. I think i will give Microsoft Vista a chance after all, they may be evil, but at least thier operating system is on the market and current. I HATE THE IPHONE!!!!!!!!! Only an fool would buy it. Thank You Apple for Making my day worse!!!!!!!

Take all the time you want Apple. Tiger is great. Don't ship a Vista. Please.

> My guess this is a fake statement.
> I can't confirm any sources, nothing on apple.com either. Fishy if you ask me.

Follow the:
MDN link

Here come the mac heads making excuses for Aplle. . .
I can hear them now: " at least it's not 4 years"
"at least they didn't cut anything" (at least that you know of)
"at least

This year is turning out to be the shit on the Mac year.

Heck, they probably added more features that we know nothing about.

Unlike some OTHER OS' that had the originally advertised features heavily

stripped from the final release after years of delay.

Well, no sense in waiting anymore. I think a lot of people are gonna think the same and stop delaying their buying decision.
I'm definitely gonna get myself a new MacBook soon!

It's on Apple's site (Hot News), I'm dissappointed, my MBP will have to wait
