Apple Might Delay Leopard to Ensure Compatibility with Vista

A Taiwanese electronics publication DigiTimes Systems has cited unnamed sources in a news article and they are claiming that the iPod maker Apple Inc. would delay the launch of their upcoming Leopard operating system to ensure compatibility with the recently launched Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.

Apple plans to ship Leopard with their Boot Camp application built in and they aim to provide support for dual booting with the Vista operating system to their customers.

Apple has not released any official response to this rumor in the market. If this is true, they would not be alone to suffer due to the Vista launch. A lot of other software majors are working hard on releasing Vista compatible versions of their software applications.

Adobe is one such example. They cancelled their plans to release Vista compatible versions of their existing products in the market. The company plans to add support for Vista in their upcoming releases. IBM has also just said that they have placed Vista certification efforts for its current Lotus Notes products on the back burner as they are working hard on ensuring that the Lotus Notes 8 Suite is fully compatible with Windows Vista.
