Apple just released the news that should not surprise anyone: no Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) until October. The details from Apple.com/HotNews reads in part:
“… iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price — we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned. While Leopard’s features will be complete by then, we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers expect from us. We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October.”

While some people may decry the delay, I would pose a simple question: do you want a buggy, crash-prone 10.5 when it comes out, or wait a few more months and get a stable, complete version?
