Anyone know if Apple is planning to release 10.5 in October or is this still a while off. I haven't heard boo and none of my Mac friends have really said anything either. Usually I hear them squawking about six months in advance when they get beta releases.

From what I here lepord is going to be released to developers in august after it is introduced at the WWDC2006 in san fran.
