The cat is still in the bag
Apple faces reality.
Some questions to ponder...
1. How big is the shit-eating grin on the lips of Bill Gates, and does every Windows fan in the world know the definition of Schadenfreude?
2. "Cupertino has a cat, too. But it fell asleep."
3. Apple releases MacOS point updates about every 3-4 months. The last update was 10.4.9...does this mean there will be a 10.4.10?
4. First Apple dropped "Computer" from its name, now they have stated that working on a phone is more important then working on the operating system that powers their personal computers. Is this another sign that MacOS hardware and software is continuing to fade in importance at Apple?
5. Will developers finally really see "secret features" in June?
6. Does Steve Jobs wish he really had a "time machine?"
7. As far as I can remember, this is the first time since the mid 1990s - and the first time ever since Steve Jobs came back to Apple - that Apple has publicly missed an announced ship date of the MacOS.
All cattiness (pun intended) aside, I know from personal experience what it is like when corporate higher-ups decide that some other project has priority over the project you personally prefer. That's how things work in corporate America, and there's no reason Apple should be immune from this.
So, for now Tiger still works great. And hey, I could always run Vista on my Mac!
UPDATE:
And a couple more questions...
What will happen to iLife and iWork...will there be any releases at all this year for those products?
What about new Macs...Apple often links new hardware to new software...hopefully this will not result in delays for updated iMacs or laptops.

Do you think the iPhone is the real reason for the delay, or just a convenient excuse?
The iPhone is the favorite child at the moment, so why not pass the blame where it will instantly be forgiven?

Do you think there will be new iPods that are essentially the iPhone without the phone? I'd buy that.
