There may be more to Apple's upcoming Mac OS X Leopard launch, which the company delayed until October to ensure its iPhone will ship on time in June, than meets the eye. SeekingAlpha reports that clues point to Leopard doing away with traditional overlapping windows altogether, and that Apple delayed the next generation of Mac OS X to give developers a head start on porting as well as developing new software for new user interface. Apple's own applications reflect such a trend, using paned interfaces rather than overlapping windows for almost every interface. "Such a radical new 'feature' in Leopard would more than justify Apple's efforts to rush developers into learning about the new APIs and preparing them to make some serious changes to their applications," the report states.
