Following on from the WWDC thread, I thought it would be nice to keep all things "Leopard" in one place ~ might help clean up the amount of threads!

Anyway, aside from what we know at http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard and the WWDC Keynote 2007 here are my rolling updates :)

Good idea with the thread :) I personally can't wait until Leopard is released. Although Tiger does way more than I could ask for already!
 
Can a mod move this to the Mac Software thread please? Would be a good tread to have until the release in October.

If you can suffer the bizarre presentation style Sun have used for this video it's quite informative about the benefits of ZFS. Seems wicked cool to me.

Nice video, really weird presentation style though.

Geeky Germans for the lose! :(
 
From what I've seen of it, the time machine feature can really rock! especially using a router and nas. I really want to play with this; as I want to see how good it is compared to microsoft volume shadow copy.

Will it work with any router or just the apple airports?
Will it ghost windows drives thats connected to your mac?

Baring the time machine feature nothing else really excites me about 10.5; just general high expectation for it, the level may rise as it gets closer.

It will probably work with any router that has a NAS connected to it, but I wouldn't like to say for sure. If they're using Bonjour then maybe not.
 
Im planning on buying a 15¨ Macbook Pro 2.4gb/2gb/160gb and im just wondering if its worth waiting for Leopard? Im not in a huge rush to buy, are there an new KILLER features that would make it worth the wait, i dont fancy buying now and then having to buy Leopard in 3months for £100

If you can wait, then wait. I have the MBP spec you have stated - it's very good and even has wireless-N without the need to stupid enabling.

The main thing with leopard is time machine for me. As long as I can back up to my SuSE raid 5 array then I'll be happy.

Sounds like you'll be happy then. Time machine can be backed up onto any file system, it stores all the data in a disk image that can be stored anywhere.
 
News... first in a longgggggg time :)
Apple appears to be making steady progress on Leopard and provided ADC Developers with a new seed today.

The newest seed (9A499) reportedly has introduced a number of new bugs, but subjective reports indicate it feels much faster.

This is the first Leopard update released to developers since the WWDC build was finally seeded earlier this month.

Apple publicly demoed Leopard at WWDC in June and is expected to released Mac OS X Leopard in October of this year.

Buy now (and order over the phone and say you go to University, 14% off instantly, they don't ask for proof).

I ordered mine on the 14th of July, still waiting for it to be shipped but should be today or anytime up until the 30th! Anyways, there are some nice features but nothing to hold you back - Leopard doesn't require a serial number like the rest of Apple's operating systems in the past so you can install and sell the disc on again, or just acquire it..

Actually they do.

They asked me for confirmation, granted it's the first time in 5 orders though ;)
 
I'm not sure if it has been confirmed yet or if the release date is in one of the links posted but what date is the Leopard coming out?Trying to see when the Leopard OS will be installed onto the Macbooks.
 
I don't believe it's announced, however, October 2007 is the date so for now most people are thinking 1st October until a date is set :)
