It’s been one of the longest periods without a Mac OS update, but this latest version has been worth the wait. Hundreds waited in line across the country to get their hands on Leopard and possible get one of the 500 free T-Shirts per store.
Much of the anticipation for an exceptional product was created over the last week as reviewers began to get their copies. Walt Mossberg had an incredibly optimistic review that pointed to Leopard as being an “evolutionary” upgrade.
With Apple’s (AAPL) renewed consumer enthusiasm, it appears as though almost any product that has a special release date has long lines and happy customers. Very much unique to Apple products, consumers will wait hours and hours to get their hands on the first copies. With the company’s market share growing rapidly and this incredible cult of Mac fans, Apple has finally received the appreciation it deserves.

A review of the Mac OS X Leopard will be on MarketMatador.com within the next week.
