OS X 10.5 Leopard to be Available 26 October in Germany

Wednesday, October 17. 2007

I just got an email from Apple Deutschland saying OS X 10.5 Leopard will be available 26th October and inviting me to pre-order my copy. Oh believe me I'm way ahead them. I've already been in to see the guys at Gravis to place my order for the English version. If you're one of my German readers, here's a quote from the announcement.

Das wichtigste Upgrade zu Mac OS X ist in Kürze verfügbar. Mit über 300 neuen Funktionen können Sie Ihren Mac noch produktiver und mit mehr Spaß nutzen. Mac OS X Leopard - das fortschrittlichste Apple Betriebssystem - ist jetzt noch fortschrittlicher.
Now some of you may be wondering why I've ordered the English version, well, the unfortunate fact about buying Mac software in Germany is that it isn't multi-lingual, and there is a lot of German that I don't understand, and when you need to make changes to an Operating System as complex as OS X you need it to be in your own native language.

Gravis are able to get the English version within 1-2 weeks so make sure you pre-order now to avoid disappointment. I think Kaufhof Galleria can also pre-order the English versions but I've always found the staff in Gravis in Düsseldorf and Berlin to be super professional so I recommend talking to them first. Ask nicely and you may also get their help installing it.

Oh, and if the Gravis people read this, a big shout out to you all, keep up the good work!

    why don't you buy the US version, the price is in US $, so you would save nearly 30 %, compared to the price in Euro?
    Do you know, wether the USversion is multilingual?

    The problem with buying the US version is that I'd have to go through ebay or amazon and I'd have to home to receive when it comes in the mail. Stuff like that usually comes via DHL and if I'm not home when, the mail man just leaves it at the door.

    Apple don't make a big song and dance about language support in their software and I *think* that it is only major countries like Germany that have different versions. For example if you buy OS X in Poland or the Netherlands I suspect you'd get the international version instead of the German version.
