We have no idea why tipster Josh was browsing the German version of Amazon for the next version of Apple’s OS X operating system, but we’re glad he did. Because according to Amazon, the release date for Snow Leopard is July 1 this year.Of course, it’s highly unlikely that July 1 is the official launch date – the date on Amazon is likely a holding date that’s slipped through the cracks, but we do know that OS X 10.6 will be launching this year, and probably around that time too. Still, considering we’re a couple of days from Apple’s final Macworld keynote, there’s no better time to start flooding the internet with more Apple rumours…
[Amazon.de - Thanks Josh!]

Just typing “OS X Snow Leopard” into Amazon UK brings up a load of books on pre-order (e.g. Mac OS X Snow Leopard for Dummies) with July 2009 dates.

Microsoft have just said that if you buy Vista as of 1st July, you’ll be able to upgrade to Windows 7 for free when it’s released. I wonder why that chose 1st July? ;o)
