OS X 10.5 FINALLY OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE

Now as you may have read here I'm currently on a Mac since my laptop got smashed, well I must admit this thing is starting to grow on me a bit, although it's still no gaming computer.  On that note while OS X 10.4 aka Tiger has been a great OS and had taken some great leaps over it's predeccesor,  well the long awaited upgrade from Tiger has finally gotten an official release date after being pushed back numerous times.  OS X 10.5 known as Leopard will be released on October 26th.  At $126 for single users and $199 for the family pack it may be worth it to get a couple friends to pitch in and just get the family pack. 

With key improvements throughout the OS and many immediatly obvious in the UI, Leopard also adds multiple desktop support standard to the OS, a redesigned desktop, a finder that is very similar to the album browser of the new iPod Touch and iPhone, file previews on mouse over, and Time Machine which acts as a system restore.  Those are of course only a few of the 300+ new features added to the new OS X.  Personally I can't wait to give it a go, and I certainly cant wait to watch it boot up as this mac's UI is already wonderfuly polished, now it should be shiney enough to see myself in (with the help of the iSight camera of course haha).

Go ahead and check out all the new features or go ahead and preorder Leopard by following the link at the bottom of this article.
