"Steve Jobs and Co. are set to remind the world about their first love in coming days with the release of Leopard, the newest version of the Macintosh operating system, which will update the current Tiger," John Boudreau reports for The San Jose Mercury News.
"'Some have said Apple is pushing the Mac out of the way' for other gadgets, said Rick Shim, an analyst with market research firm IDC. "'I wouldn't say that's the case at all. The Mac is still central to their universe,'" Boudreau reports.
Apple "continues to update its PC line. Just in August, Apple unveiled a new line of even more svelte iMac desktops. Now it's ready to draw the curtain on a new operating system," Boudreau reports.
"'If Apple is able to deliver on all of the stuff they are showing to date with Leopard, there is no doubt in my mind they will have another hit on their hands,' said Michael Gartenberg, research director at Jupiter Research," Boudreau reports.
"Leopard is priced at $129 for single copies, and $199 for the family pack, which includes licenses for as many as five users. Leopard, along with other digital lifestyle software, will be bundled with every new Mac laptop and desktop computer," Boudreau reports.
Boudreau covers some of Leopards top new features in the full article here.
