Delay
The rumour of a delay to the next version of Mac OS X have borne out. Leopard was expected to ship this spring but Apple have now pushed the date back to October. The reason stated for the delay is a shuffling of internal resources to keep iPhone on schedule.
With NAB imminent, Mike Curtis speculates on what this might mean for any announcements on Sunday. I have no idea what it means, if anything, but it would certainly suggest that if new software is announced, it will not require Core Animation support.
UPDATE 13 April 2007: As for all the concern about what the delay means for Apple, I John Gruber’s perspective on the matter, “There’s still going to be a major new release of OS X in June. It’s just not the one we’d been expecting.”
