08:19 AAPL Apple reportedly to postpone Leopard to support Windows Vista - digitimes.com (93.96 ) -Update-

Digitimes reports that AAPL is expected to launch its next generation Leopard operating system in April, but according to industry sources, the release of the new OS will be postponed to Oct to allow AAPL to make Leopard support (MSFT) Windows Vista through an integrated version of its Boot Camp software.

The sources pointed out that the launch delay is not due to software design problems with Leopard but instead is attributed to AAPL's plan to have its new OS support Windows Vista through an integrated version of Boot Camp.

If Leopard supports only Windows XP, then the chances of the new OS attracting Windows users to buy an AAPL computer decreases, stated industry observers, noting that with Vista support, AAPL's chances of increasing its share of the PC market would increase.
