Apple consistently likes to take discreet shots at its competitor, Microsoft. Whether it’s about viruses or system crashes, Apple tries to incorporate the stereotypical Windows machine into their products and websites. Here’s the latest.

The Blue Screen of Death is one of the most awful screens to reach when operating Windows computer. It means, you’ve just crashed and there’s no way of getting back. When I was recently bored and passing the time, I looked at a connected computer, or “Shared” computer. The computer was hooked on to my network and was a Windows PC. Clicking on the shared computer brought up a folder entitled “C.” Curious, I clicked “Get Info” for the drive. Under “Preview” was a bulky CRT Monitor showing the “Blue Screen of Death.”

Since last Friday’s release of Leopard, Apple’s new operating system, the company has sold over two million copies. The new number far outweighs Apple’s previous record for Tiger’s weekend sales.

Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, was quoted as saying, “Early indications are that Leopard will be a huge hit with customers. Leopard’s innovative features are getting great reviews and making more people than ever think about switching to the Mac.”

Close followers of Apple’s Online Store may have just found the latest sign of an October 26th release of Leopard. The store is now delaying the shipping of Tiger (OSX 10.4) until October 26th. Coincidence? We think not.

For weeks now, rumor sites, including MarketMatador.com, have been hinting at an October 26th release of Leopard. Only two weeks from the supposed release, the Apple Store has decided to delay the shipment of OS X Tiger until October 26th.

Update: Within minutes of the story getting out, the Apple Store changed it back to: “Ships Within 24 hours.” 

AppleInsider.com has just released industry rumors about the launch date for Apple’s newest operating system, OS X Leopard. The consensus believes that the release date should be some time in late October.

In the past, Apple has traditionally chosen Fridays for the release of operating systems. Therefore, that would point to an October 26th release date. Already guaranteed is the fact that Leopard will be released some time in October.

Apple already pushed back the original release, due to the iPhone, which was the original setback. Ultimately, the iPhone was released on the last day of the month and that may point to a later release of Leopard as well.

A recent update on AppleInsider:

We are receiving additional tips from industry sources who indicate that October 26 is currently the estimated ship date for Mac OS X Leopard.

Leopard is expected to release with a price tag of $129 for the single license and $199 for the family-pack.
