AAPL Stock: 562.29 ( -3.03 )

Snow Leopard mistakenly slated for August 28th

Snow Leopard release date?


Overnight on Thursday, Apple's UK online store temporarily listed the shipping date for the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Up-to-Date program as August 28th. The listing has since been corrected to say September. It follows various rumors hinting that Snow Leopard could be available by the end of August, ahead of the official date. Equivalent pages at other Apple online stores have not deviated from a September timeframe.

Also indicating Snow Leopard could be released next week have been rumors that support training for the OS has begun, backed by several screenshots of the Snow Leopard training course. Other reports have suggested that the most recent developer build of the OS is the gold master, but some sources have contested this.

    I've already got the

    most recent build and it works great except for expected incompatibilities with some menu items. I've used MenuMeters for years and it got broken. Other than that, the latest build is fast and light and will be well worth the upgrade price.

    Timing will hurt sales

    Unfortunately the timing of this release is going to impact initial sales in the Education environment. In much of the country this release has been timed to coincide with the beginning of a new school year. Most people schools will leave the upgrade until next Summer. This is certainly better than rushing the product out the door before it is ready, but it is too bad they couldn't have moved up the schedule just a few months.

    You know....

    These kind of "accidental" leaks happen way too often. There's no way Apple isn't doing this on purpose just to drum up excitement, and stop people from talking about Windows 7.

    Windows 7 is really good, but it's only really good, because Vista was so really bad.
