I'm sure they will show something about Leopard on the 20th, and set a firm release date, but I'm pretty sure they won't be releasing it on the 20th :)

To be honest, I don't care how "early" in the Spring 2007 Leopard is released. As long as it's released "as planned" and working out of the box as that's what Apple is about.

But it'll be a nice treat. Getting my £60 ready for my purchase, HE discount :)
 
if i do purchase leopard and install it does that mean i will have to reset up all my bootcamp partitions again? Or can i just install it over osx? Cant imagine it would be as bad as upgrading the os on a windows machine though!

That would be because different versions of Windows are completely different and new, rather than a minor revision.

Upgrading from say Windows XP SP1 to SP2 is not difficult.
 
Officially, a whole new OS. But I expect in reality it will be a slight evolution over Tiger. Just like Tiger was over Panther.

Apple are now on OS 10.x ... their last major OS was OS 9. Not until OS 11 will we see any major changes.
 
thanks for info on that. im hoping its a nice simple install and bootcamp partitions are not affected coz having to reinstall windows is a pain.

Yeah about this OSX 11... Now the difference between OS9 and OSX was well basically an entire rewrite from scratch. Now sure I'm not a mac user, but I did once use them. Mac OS 5/6? well one of them (and Apple IIe), and a few after it. My point is with these new OSs being not that much different from there predecessor, how much will OS11 differ? Has it even been announced?

You've got somewhat of a point there. Although it can go smoothly in some cases. Although one couldn't upgrade a classic MacOS to a MacOSX.

I would imagine by the time we get to 11 if they dont just go 10.10.1 then compairing it against 10.1 it will be a big change and possibly there will be a major overhal however I some how doubt it as apple seems to have comfortably slipped into regularly releasing a new os every year or so with new features that are breaking new ground for the os and staying in my opinion ahed of the competition

Not yet. Steve mentioned that OS X will be around for at least 10 years. So it will be the next decade before OS 11 comes along. That's if they are even bothering with it by then.

See, if it tiger is already *this* good, I don't mind them "sp2" type of feature updates than a major overhaul.

Not broken, don't "fix" it.

Add more useful stuff to it is nice :)
