It’s being reported that OS X 10.5 Leopard’s pre-orders are double what they were for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
The reasons: dissatisfaction with Microsoft Vista, the fact that this is the longest period of time between major releases of Mac OS X, and Leopard’s new features. Patrick Brown, CEO of Brown Computer Solutions, said “We’ve probably doubled the backorders of Leopard, compared to what we did with Tiger. With the Intel Macs, Apple has significantly increased the installed base. We do expect a very successful launch.”
I succumbed and pre-ordered a copy of Leopard. Yes, I know I said I was going to wait a month or so…but I couldn’t. ~sigh~
Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, is being released this coming Friday, October 26th.
