Apple reportedly to postpone Leopard to support Windows Vista | |
|

| Time: 01:14 EST/06:14 GMT | News Source: DigiTimes | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

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. | ||

Another rumour that is wrong, AGAIN
http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2599 And if you use your brain, you'd know that the story was unlikely in the first place. Why would Apple delay the next version of Mac OS X just for more Windows compatibility, when they can deliver this in an update from Apple Software Updates anyway? Boot Camp and Vista compatibility is only a small part of OS X and isn't crucial to it anyway so story already falls apart from the start. |

| Besides that... how could an issue with Boot Camp take so long? I can see perhaps waiting for some drivers for Vista, but Boot Camp itself? It's just a boot-loader, c'mon. |
