I’m surprised that they don’t move on to OS 11 (or “OS XI”). The technological difference between Tiger and Leopard is probably about the same as the different between OS 7, 8 and 9.
Then again, it might not make good marketing to abandon the “X” portion.

Preordered today. Leopard is worth it for Time Machine alone.

I wonder what the marketshare for OS X is among conservatives. Apple (and by Apple, I mean Steve Jobs) has leftist leanings, but the company has been pretty apolitical in its modern (post-iMac) era. Well, at least apolitical enough to avoid boycotts and backlash. Plus, they stood up to those Greenpeace wackos when they got unduly smeared.

I have nothing against Windows (I use it at work) or Linux (I use it on my home server), but I prefer OS X as my daily personal operating system.

Feh. More eye candy but thats about it. I am very happy with Vista Business 64 bit. Apple is nothing but hype.

Besides, who wants to put more money in the pocket of ultra-liberal weasel Steve Jobs? And his flunky Algore who sits on the Apple board.
