Mac OS X in February
According to reports at ZDNet, Apple will not take the wraps off the upcoming and much anticipated Mac OS X at Macworld in January. However, Daniel Turner at ZDNet reports that Mac lovers everywhere can look for the big unveiling on February 24th, in a Microsoft-like fashion with a big shebang. At the January Macworld conference Apple CEO Steve Jobs will formally announce the final shipping date.
The first update to the operating system is expected within a year of its released, and will be codenamed Orient. The first release of OS X 1.0 will come with the revisions currently being worked on for OS 9.1 to fix incompatibilities between the two systems.
A massive marketing blitz is expected to launch the new operating system, with top executives currently tossing around the idea of free upgrades to OS X for those who purchase Mac systems at the expo, as well as loading it as the default system for its business class computers.
