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.
Steve Jobs and Apple lean left? Well knock me over with a feather.
I’ll bet the majority of all Apple users lean left also.
I find it odd and sad that people identify with machines.
I wonder if people identify with their toasters or coffee makers the same as they do with their computers or motorcycles?
I doubt anyone has a jacket with a logo of a Braun coffee maker or Sunbeam waffle iron on the back.
I’ve got three Macs in constant use and one Windows XP box, and I hate using the PC when I have to.
Even programs that are cross-platform compatible, like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, FileMaker Pro and Dreamweaver, are far easier to use on the Mac, due to OSX’s ease of use and its font utilization.

I don’t understand why computer choices have to be so political.
