The rumor mills are turning full speed now as to the release timing of Apple’s OS X 10.5, Leopard.  The most credited date seems to be Friday, October 26th, possibly at 6pm.  These same rumor mills are saying that Apple will probably announce the official date in the next day or so.While I most definitely at some point will be upgrading to Leopard, I’m not that interested in being the very first.
