Apple Doesn’t Want People Knowing About Leopard

Remember our video post last week about Leopard and how its Expose + Spaces was supposed to work? Yeah, Apple doesn’t quite like it, and told us as much in the form of a NastyGram. Apparently, because the only version out of Leopard is a developer’s version, it’s not quite “public”, and a video of the OS is a big no-no in Apple’s book.
Hope you saw that video while it was up, because it was really cool, and pretty much just served to hype up interest in Leopard. Seems to us they’re just shooting themselves in the foot here. The more people hear how Leopard is supposedly ahead of Vista, the more people want to pick up a Mac instead of a new Windows machine next year.

I agree, I don’t understand why Apple does stuff like this. It just puts a bad taste in peoples’ mouths. On the other hand, there are supposed to be a few new “secret” features, so maybe they don’t want any of those to accidently (or otherwise) leak out. Either way, it’s a bummer for those of us who love following all this new techy / geeky stuff.

Meh. That’s just how Apple works. They regularly put on these huge release parties which are guaranteed to get them major press exposure. If they only announced stuff which was already known, well, not so major press exposure anymore.
Besides, if they had to pull a known feature, everyone would be up in arms about Apple “stealing” features from them (see: issue with announced G4 PPC machines). This, btw, is *exactly* what is constantly happening to Microsoft: They announce huge feature list and then release products with 10% of the features on them. Instant bad press.
Apple probably knows what it’s doing.
