More update on Leopard

Apple Insider in his article Road to Mac OS X Leopard reported that Apple has significantly updated Dictionary 2.0 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, expanding it from a simple word lookup into a complete multilingual reference tool. Here’s a look at what’s new in Dictionary. Leopard’s Dictionary 2.0 adds a Digital Librarian-like function for adding new reference works. Apple includes a new dictionary of its own marketing terms, including Rosetta, Quartz, and Exposé, although it doesn’t offer to define many terms outside of product names. It also doesn’t offer anything for terms such as Carbon, Darwin, or Core Graphics. Perhaps Apple should throw in a developer dictionary that might be more useful than its definitions of Cover Flow and MacBook. The Apple Dictionary also includes some oddly outdated terms such as Open Transport and A/UX.

Meanwhile AppleInsider and ThinkSecret believe that Leopard will be launch by late October or to be exact on October 26th.
