The original story obviously meant that Leopard would come out with an Octo-core-Mac-Pro, not come out in Octo---ber!

Remember there were rumors about the delaying of appleTV or the airport express (I forget which one), and later, apple jumped out claiming no delay... and later, the product did delay.

Well, you can never trust apple's statement about those thing, the information could be interpreted as apple will try its best to meet the late spring deadline, but whether they could do it remains unclear.

The same Apple that said Apple TV wasn't going to be delayed until the day it was supposed to ship and then delayed it 3 weeks?

I'm not familiar with the Leopard builds so far but I do hope they find enough time to fix my two complaints. Both of which have been around since forever!

1. When you make a zip archive, it includes extra hidden files and folders which is embarassing when you have to send them to your Windows or Linux associates.

2. When you are logged onto a Windows or Linux network and you are waiting for a file to show up but it doesn't for a few minutes even though it is really there. Where is the "Refresh File List" selection?

Oh and 3. can we just get rid of the crazy Apple line returns and use unicode CR LF like the other popular OSs do, it would solve a lot of incompatibility issues for me at least.
