Who all's getting Leopard?

Who all's getting Leopard?

Postby e to the x » Tue Oct 23, 2007 5:27 pm

I am. I preordered it and it will be at my door by Friday. I can't wait. Big plus will be to regain the ability to use bootcamp.

I also can't believe how much cheaper it is to buy Leopard than it is to buy Vista. And you can even buy 5 user licenses for Leopard for under $200. What's that about?

Just curious but can Leopard run on an Intel PC? Or Apple hardware only?

Highly illegal and not a topic to be discussed on the forums.

Ah well, I'll just go to our local Apple store and hang out there all day playing with Leopard, LOL

Its still OS 10 with more revisions and refinement. Give OS X some time. You will get used to it as you use it more. I've been using it daily for over 18 months and though there are still some things that i wish i could do in Mac, its still always a pleasant experience.

You could legally run OS X 10.4 on a non-Apple system prior to an update where the functionality was removed and they shut down the source of the base system more...

I'll get Leopard eventually, but I'm not in any hurry considering my Mac is just a huge paperweight at the moment

This may be what convinces Tash and I to finally invest in a Mac. I've never actually used one, but I know a lot of folks at work do, and given what I like to do with my PC, it just makes sense.

Something tells me the Adobe Suite will be a heck of a lot better on a Mac.
