Leopard is Apple's latest operating system that is going to bring several major additions and improvements and should bring Apple one step closer to enterprise customers.

Some rumors were saying that Apple will bring the OS by the end of the March. Prudential Equity Group upgraded Apple stock from 'Neutral weight' to 'Overweight', expecting a Leopard release synchronized with that of Adobe's CS3 (announced March 27)- that meens tomorrow.

Digitimes is reporting that the next release of Mac OS X, code-named Leopard, will not ship until October of this year as Apple works to ensure compatibility with Windows Vista.

The delay may be the fact that Apple wants to make sure that Mac owners will be able to run Vista and Leopard on the same machine. Boot Camp, currently in beta, allows Mac users with Intel's chips to run Windows XP on their systems. Apple plans to include a final version of Boot Camp with Leopard.

The Mac applications - iTunes, are still not fully compatible with Vista. But would Apple really delay the next release of its operating system to ensure compatibility with Vista, which is only being used by a fraction of PC users at present?

Another convenient date for the Apples’ OS could be Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in June.
