Apple Inc. said earlier this week that it has started receiving orders for its new operating system called Leopard, which will run on Apple Mac PCs and Notebooks. After a four month delay due to resources being allocated to the iPhone, Apple is set to go live with the software on October 26th; it will cost US$129 for a single user license.

This is the sixth version of Apple Mac OS X software and has 300 listed improvements from its predecessor. You can view those improvements here.

Apple, Inc.’s shares were at an all time high yesterday, selling for about US$173 per share. The general consensus of “Buy” in the market must be making investors happy.



Here are the general requirements for Mac OS X Leopard:

·    Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
·    512MB of memory
·    DVD drive for installation
·    9GB of available disk space
·    Some features require a compatible Internet Service Provider; fees may apply.
·    Some features require Apple's .Mac service; fees apply.

This new version leaves us speculating whether it can run on any PC, even one that is not sold as a Mac. Only time will tell. Read more here.
