Apple (AAPL) announced that it had sold or delivered more than 2 million copies of OS X 10.5 in its first weekend, as compared to OS X Tiger which took nearly six weeks for the same. There is a lot of speculation that the launch of Leopard would be the most successful of all Apple OS releases.
Mac users are already rushing to Apple Inc.’s support forums to report degrading in their wireless connections. As of today, the company has not posted any support document addressing this problem or provided a fix.
There is no comparable data on records, but Microsoft is said to be licensed 20 million copies in its first month, 88 million copies of Vista in nine months. There is no doubting that the user base for Apple Computers is growing, but would it surpass the sales of Microsoft’s Vista? I doubt so.
I can only imagine what kind of record Apple will break whnen Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard will be released. I’m sure that not only normal mac-user will contribute, but also businesses, beacuse it seems that Snow Leopard will be very enterprise oriented.
