08:48 AAPL Apple: Leopard delay concerns overdone; checks indicate on time for June Q - AmTech (93.52 )

AmTEch says recently there has been speculation and concern that Mac OS X Leopard will be delayed until Oct. Firm believes these concerns are overdone and believe that Mac OS X Leopard will ship on time in the "Spring" timeframe, or AAPL's June Q.

Their sources indicate that AAPL's latest beta build has made noticeable improvements in stability and functionality from previous builds and that AAPL is likely one or two upcoming builds away from reaching "final candidate" stage to be released for manufacturing.

Firm's checks also indicate that many in the AAPL developer community are hoping that the Mac OS X Leopard is virtual machine technology similar to that offered by Parallels, Inc. that allows seamless operation of Mac OS and Windows simultaneously. If this proves to be the case, they believe this would serve as a major catalyst for Mac sales.
