By now (hours after the announcement) Leopard’s postponement until October is not news, but I’m just documenting my thoughts.

I’m a little disappointed, it means I have to rearrange my plans a little, do more work, etc but on the other hand it gives me breathing room and, crucially, we finally know where we stand, because that is the most difficult thing.

You see, it’s one thing if the OS is planned to come out before you expect to release – fine. It takes a while for everyone to get up to speed. But, when you’re (ahem) developing a product that could depend on or benefit from Leopard technology, you don’t want it sitting around the shelf for months. For anything more than a few weeks, that’s not an option for me.

Now we know where we stand I have a choice: to work on something else or target Tiger.
