Many
of us here are rabid Mac users, except for those that aren't. No matter
who we are, however, we undoubtedly love hearing rumors of the
impending release of new operating systems. Such was the case earlier
in October, when we
reported that Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 had left the station in a release train.
In
layperson terms, that means that all the new features, ideas and fixes
for the operating systems' next release, are set in stone. That doesn't
mean there won't be changes, it just means there won't be anything new
added. It's a significant step in the development of any software, and
for the Mac OS X, it could mean a January 09 release at MacWorld San
Francisco.
And yet, no one seems to have noticed that we've
written this story. We suppose it's their loss that they won't be privy
to this hip, cool knowledge.
