Apple Sells 2 Million Copies of Leopard

02 Nov, 2007, 6:09 pm IST | tech2 News Staff |

Apple has already sold over two million copies of Mac OS X Leopard since its release.

Sales included copies sold at Apple's retail stores, Apple Authorized Resellers, the online Apple Store, under maintenance agreements and bundled with new Mac computers.

Leopard is the sixth major release of Mac OS X and its sales have outpaced the first-weekend sales of Mac OS X Tiger, which was previously the most successful OS release in Apple's history.

"Early indications are that Leopard will be a huge hit with customers," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Leopard's innovative features are getting great reviews and making more people than ever think about switching to the Mac."

Leopard introduces Time Machine, that automatically backs up everything on a Mac; a redesigned Finder that lets users browse and share files between multiple Macs; Quick Look, a new way to see files without opening an application; Spaces, that helps create groups of applications and switch between them; a brand new desktop with Stacks, a new way to easily access files from the Dock; and enhancements to Mail and iChat.

Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard is available through the Apple Store, at Apple's retail stores and through Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of $129 (US) for a single user license.

The Mac OS X Leopard Family Pack is a single-household, five-user license for a suggested retail price of $199 (US). Leopard requires a minimum of 512MB of RAM and is designed to run on any Macintosh computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor.
