Today Apple said its Mac OS X, code-named Leopard will go on sale October 26. The price is expected to be
set at $129 for the regular version of the operating system.
Previously, Apple had originally planned to make Leopard available in June, but said last April it needed to
divert resources so it could launch the much-anticipated iPhone in time for the summer.
Leopard is Apple's 6th major upgrade to its Mac OS X software since the desktop operating system was initially
offered to the public in late 2001.
Overall, Apple says its "Boot Camp" feature lets users install a copy of Windows on Intel-based Macs, but
the two operating systems still can't run at the same time the company warned.
For its part, Microsoft launched its new Vista operating system in February 2007, its first major overhaul to
the Windows XP operating system since it became widely available in the third quarter of 2002.
Apple also said a special version of Leopard for Web servers will launch at the same time as the consumer
version.
Today, Apple's stock fell a little over $2 a share to $164.92 in premarket trading.
