Borrowing a page from Microsoft’s history of development woes for the recently released new OS, Vista, Apple has today announced that its eagerly anticipated new version of Mac OS X, Leopard, will be delayed until October 2007. The Cupertino, California based company had announced that Leopard would be released sometime in the spring at last June’s WWDC (its annual developers convention).

Now, according to a press release appearing on Apple’s official website, the release date has been pushed back because some key resources have been redirected from the OS development team in order to meet the late June deadline for the iPhone. Although this probably means no delays for THE hottest gadget of the year, many will see this as a missed opportunity for Apple to steal some of Microsoft’s thunder, seen the tepid reactions to the Vista release from both critics and the public.
