The professional rumor mongers over at Think Secret now say that Leopard, the next version of Mac OS X, will be released in June, right around the time of the Worldwide Developers Conference. Leopard was originally scheduled to ship by the end of March, but it turns out that the new OS is a little more advanced that Apple first anticipated. Whether or not this means we’ll see that new rumored GUI—Illuminous—is still unclear.
New versions iLife and iWork, with a number of features that require Leopard, are also expected to be released around the same time as the WWDC, perhaps without the 2007 suffix. This means that Apple won’t be forced to release new versions of iLife every year.
Leopard better be worth it, what with Apple teasing us about its release for years now.

I wait with impatience and much toe tapping and knee jerking.

I have to agree with Matthias, I’ve been impatiently waiting on when I can get my MacBook Pro for months now. Don’t know whether I can wait any longer.

“Leopard was originally scheduled to ship by the end of March” ?????????
When anyone ever said that? Apple and Steve Jobs never said anything more than “Leopard will ship in Spring 2007″ which is a period going from March 21st to June 21st.
Leopard shipping at WWDC simply means Apple ships when they said: in Spring 2007.
I have even seen online comments and articles touting: “Leopard is late: will only ship in June”. So silly: Spring 2007 is NOT one day, ie, March 21st.
