| The reason for the 10.5.7 non-release
Well I have been in touch with some old college friends and they have info (because of certain jobs -I don't want to get her fired) say 10.5.7 will have code it it to make it the last major update before Snow Leopard. They are holding 10.5.7 back until late May because they(Apple) are afraid that code in the update will give people clues on what is in Snow Leopard. This is why 10.5.7 has not been released yet, so wait until late May before it is released.

All the news sites are reporting that Friday (May 8) will see the release of 10.5.7. http://www.google.com/search?q=10.5....ient=firefox-a I guess there's only one way to find out...

Well it is late Friday May 8th 2009 and no update. I still believe it will be released the week of May 18th to May 22nd. I hear that the delay now is Safari 4 Beta problems.

Does that mean Snow Leopard is expected soon-ish? I haven't heard a timeframe since in a while, and the last one I did hear is long past. I'm getting tired of not buying a new computer until I know more about Snow Leopard.  Not that my 4-year-old Mac Mini doesn't still do its job, but increasingly bloated software (I'm lookin' at you, Xcode 3!) is dragging me down a bit.

I think it's expected this summer... doesn't Apple have an Expo or conference or something coming up in about a month?

The Worldwide Developers Conference is in June. I think they usually announce details of a new OS a while before they actually release it. So maybe they'll preview Snow Leopard at WWDC and set a release date for a couple months later. Or maybe they'll spring it on us. If Snow Leopard really is primarily under-the-hood changes (i.e., not ooh-and-aah-worthy to the mainstream), it would make sense not to hype it as much as past releases. Still, WWDC wouldn't seem like the place for it. Maybe it'll just be a random Tuesday.

I believe 10.6 will be discussed along with iPhone 3.0 and a new iPhone at WWDC. Snow Leopard most likely be released early fall.
