Comment Premature Announcement (Score 1) 641
Nobody thinks it would have been smart to release Leopard prematurely. Where Apple went wrong was announcing a release date that they couldn't meet. It certainly caused some problems for me - I delayed an upgrade last Fall (including a new server), in anticipation of a Spring release. Then when the delay came it seemed reasonable to wait again. Of course the server died in the meantime. Slight pain which would have been avoided if they hadn't announced early.
