We are getting close to the release date of the latest Apple Mac operating system, OS X Leopard. This operating system promises more than 300 new features and has been hailed as the most impressive version of Mac OSX ever. Apple itself says that this is the biggest system update in Mac history.
Leopard will sell for $129 for an individual and $199 for a family pack.
Leopard arrives on October 26th, although you can pre-order it through the Apple.com website. Customers who pre-order will receive free shipping, and the product will be delivered on October 26th. Leopard goes on sale at 6 pm ET. Apple stores across the country will close early and then reopen to sell Leopard in a huge even with plenty of festivities, such as live demos and the opportunity to test drive the system. In fact, the first 500 people that visit each store when it reopens for the sale will each be awarded a free t-shirt. Stores will remain pen until 10 pm

Two of the features of Leopard include the ability to combine multiple chats in iChat and enhanced Safari Tabs.
Users who claim to have obtained early copies of the software report that the operating system is “lightening fast” with an easy installation. Of course, these early copies are considered illegal and pirated, so I won’t post much more about them, other than they could be tampered with and so any pre-reports on the system are unreliable.
Some rumors going around regarding Leopard include one saying that Apple will have a few surprises for its customers in the form of top secret extras.
