From the San Jose Mercury News:
Leopard is ready to leap into the computing world.
Apple announced Tuesday that its newest operating system, one in a long line named after cats, will be released at 6 p.m. Oct. 26. That should please Macintosh enthusiasts, who have followed development of the delayed system through blogs and online discussion groups.
The new system will include 300 new features, including Stacks, which will allow users a new way to access files. They will spring up accordion-style from a redesigned, three-dimensional dock. Another highlight is Time Machine, a quick way to automatically backup everything on the Mac.
Boot Camp - software that lets users of Macs running on Intel chips to choose at start-up whether to run the Mac OS or Windows operating system - will be built into Leopard. Apple will also ship a complete set of Windows drivers with Leopard, so that Windows applications will be able to use the Web cameras and other hardware features built into the Macintosh computers. There's also a parental control content filter and the ability to limit the times children can use the computer.
