    Just curious how often does Apple release new operating systems I know with Microsoft it depends. Lately Microsoft have been creating a lot since Vista was a flop. Anyways how long has Snow Leopard been out now? Like a year? When do you all think Apple will release a new operating system? Like do they have a trend with there operating systems like they do with iPhone's ? I am not tired of Snow Leopard I am just curious so post what you guys think.

    Well, if you consider more than a year "soon," than yeah, it shouldn't be long at all. :dft012:wink

    Ever since I turned 18 I feel as though time flys so yeah a year will be here before you know it for me anyways I can remember as a kid a year would have been like a decade for me now.

    True dat. I'm going to guess maybe late 2011 but probably 2012. Since 10.6 didn't change the look at all, I'm assuming this one will have some more significant UI tweaks.

    Yeah I sure hope so like I said I am not getting tired with it or anything since I am still pretty new to OS X just thought I would ask and see what everyone else thought.
