Just to clarify, I hadn't complained at all... I was just trying
to figure out the availability of a document. Given that Leopard
is coming about half a year later than most of us expected to it
appear, it's not surprising that some people are getting antsy in
anticipation of its release. The iPhone is great and all, but
Time Machine, OD 4, and iCal Server are all things I've been
dying to start working on.
Remember, for ~$500 you could of been working with it for more
than a year already...
Closer to two years. :)

Ah ha, both you and Josh have mean streaks. ; > )
Nah. Just pointing out that 10.5 has been available for two WWDCs now.
I know people that already have update plans in place and have tested
them. They are now good to go come the time to head for Leopard.
It's $500/year, but what's your time worth? You are going to need to
spend the time somewhere to learn about 10.5, why not have it done
already?
What's your data worth? Imagine if you are able to deploy Time Machine
a month sooner because you have already tested everything. How much is
that worth if it brings back a critical bit of data that could cost
the business thousands if not millions of dollars? I've seen a
customer before that literally lost millions of dollars due to a
backup issue, so it can happen.
