Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs, plus a team of executives, will open this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a demonstration of Leopard, Apple's next-generation release of Mac OS X. Boot Camp, the program that allows Mac users to run Windows, was released in a public beta version in April. A final version is expected to be included in Leopard.
The company conference, scheduled Aug. 7 to 11, will offer one-on-one sessions with Apple engineers to peruse and troubleshoot the new system, according to Apple. Part of the conference will be dedicated to explaining best practices for developing universal applications for Intel chip-based Macs. Apple has not yet announced when the new Mac OS X version will be released.
Why would it be newsworthy then.... Apple makes great machines that we know will give you the great mac experience... also the support for boot camp and also parallels desktop is a sure fire way to woo people from the cheapo PCs of the Dell and HP world.
I am sick of everyone wanting their PCs to run the Mac OS... Apple makes great hardware and deserves the reap the rewards.

It's newsworthy enough for that 3.x% of users. It's newsworthy enough for CNET and several other sites to report on. It's newsworthy enough that just about everything Apple does attracts media attention. Heck, it was newsworthy enough for you to read the article and comment on it. The fact is, Apple's press coverage far outweighs their modest market share.
Infatuation with SIZE (market share is over rated)
Not that I wouldn't love to see Apple's share double to 8%, or go to double didgits, 10%! That would be an extraordinary achievement.
But what is it with this attitude that if a company, *ANY* company, who has a small share size is somehow not worthy of people's attention? That's bad business sense. This is rather "small" (there's that SIZE thing again) minded;-) Sheesh. Big is boring, small and unique is interesting.

I'm glad a number of programs still use Jaugar or Panther, as I've seen no reason to update on secondary computers (like my siblings Macs and other family members . . . will they be served via upgrading . . . not bloody likely).
I, on the other hand, need it. Since opening a music studio, we crash Panther and Tiger hourly (hey, when we ran it on OS 9 and 2000/XP, we'd crash all the time LOL), so I know it'll have better RAM management. What really gets me going is Kevin Rose's rumors about how it'll intergrate a variety of ways to use Windows files and programs, or something along those lines. A former buddy of mine has a Linux box that does Windows execution just fine, playing Half-Life and and Unreal at full speed last time I saw him. Crazy is I've gotten Virtual PC to run at full speed on a power enough Mac to do games like Half-Life, but I don't recommend that. I'd prefer an intergrated emulator that's capable of running Windows programs without switching or anything, just similar to the way OS 9 runs on OS X.
Out of curiosity, if you've got a business to run, why not upgrade to something more powerful? I realize that computers are not free, but it seems you'd quickly be able to recover the investment. Music software is pretty demanding of the hardware, is it not?

If you are crashing Panther and Tiger "regularly" then you most likely have a hardware issue. Both of these OS X versions are rock solid stable. I run them on 30 boxes -- 7 G4, rest G5's and not one box has EVER crashed.
The #1 cause of kernel panics in OS X is bad RAM. There's lots of bargain basement RAM out there, but if you've got a production machine, it's worth paying a little more for branded RAM.
It doesn't hurt either if you match your RAM modules in terms of Cache Latency, addressing modes etc. These specs are usually not published. Matched RAM usually has identical chipsets (check the printed numbers on the chip), and identical circuit boards.
This applies to any computer regardless of operating system, although it's more apparent under Mac OS X since there is usually very little else that can bring down the system.

Window is trash, I only use it to play games on it once in a while, that's the onlyh thing XP is good for, Games and even then sometimes that crash too.
I don't waste my time on Windows at all. DO you think it's News worth for MS to trash CNET with their stupid news every 5 minutes ?
Apple is upgrading on a rock solid base, and making that even better, what's Windows doing ?

I think that Leopard will include something like parallels too. A kind of virtualization to run windows apps inside Leopard without to have to boot with Boot Camp

Yes, Leopard might not be news, because Apple have had some Updates regularly... Just as Vista getting stacked over and over. But what really makes me think of a conspiracy, is all those who keep bashing Apple, also complain that OS X does not run in their machines... wierd!

If it came preinstalled on HP and Dell computers, then it's future release would be newsworthy.
Boot Camp isn't going to do anything to increase Apple's stagnant 3.x% market share.
that we know will give you the great mac experience... also the

to woo people from the cheapo PCs of the Dell and HP world.
I am sick of everyone wanting their PCs to run the Mac OS... Apple

Apple sells PC's that run those same two, plus one more that's better.
Seems like Apple just offers more flexibility for about the same amount of money.
