Apple delays OS X Leopard’s launch, blames Vista!
March 24th, 2007
You got to be kidding me. Did I just read that right?
It is true, according to TG Daily :
“Apple is expected to launch its next generation Leopard operating system (OS) in April, but according to industry sources, the release of the new OS will be postponed to October to allow Apple to make Leopard support Windows Vista through an integrated version of its Boot Camp software.
The sources pointed out that the launch delay is not due to software design problems with Leopard but instead is attributed to Apple’s plan to have its new OS support Windows Vista through an integrated version of Boot Camp.”
Is Apple just trying to BS? Why can it not launch Leopard and then release a patch later on that allows Vista to run on Boot Camp? It is clearly Apple’s fault and not Microsoft’s!
Update: Comments here and elsewhere suggest that the original article on DigiTimes where this information originated from may be inaccurate. Thanks all.

Who the hell is TG Daily when they’re awake?
This is complete and utter bollocks made up by people who don’t know what they’re talking about.
There is no way Apple would hold up release of Leopard for Windows.
I’d take TG Daily’s word with a steaming pile of salt if I were you.

Apple is expected to launch its next generation Leopard operating system (OS) in April, but according to industry sources, the release of the new OS will be postponed to October to allow Apple to make Leopard support Windows Vista through an integrated version of its Boot Camp software.
The sources pointed out that the launch delay is not due to software design problems with Leopard but instead is attributed to Apple’s plan to have its new OS support Windows Vista through an integrated version of Boot Camp. Boot Camp is an Apple software application that currently assists in the installation of Windows XP on computers using Apple’s latest OS. The company hopes with support for Vista, Mac computers using the new OS can grab more market share, according to the sources.
If Leopard supports only Windows XP, then the chances of the new OS attracting Windows users to buy an Apple computer decreases, stated industry observers, noting that with Vista support, Apple’s chances of increasing its share of the PC market would increase.”
RTFA loser, especially the last PARAGRAPH.

@notyou,
I don’t know why you have to be so aggresive or call me a twit. I saw this article at TG daily and just quoted them. It may have come from digitimes but it is okay to quote another blog, even if that blog has quoted from yet another blog.
Well, you haven’t left your URL but left a fake name and URL, just shows what kind of a person you are…
