The release of Apple’s Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will be postponed to October 2007 to allow Apple to make new 64-bit operating system support Windows Vista OS through an integrated version of Boot Camp software, Digi Times reports.
“The sources pointed out that the launch delay is not due to software design problems with Leopard but instead is attributed to Apple’s plan to have its new OS support Windows Vista through an integrated version of Boot Camp. Boot Camp is an Apple software application that currently assists in the installation of Windows XP on computers using Apple’s latest OS. The company hopes with support for Vista, Mac computers using the new OS can grab more market share,” Digi Times has learned at industry sources.
Apple was previously expected to ship it’s Leopard OS in spring this year.
