Word from Apple Recon is that come February 20, Apple will be holding a special introduction event for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), iLife '07 and iWork '07. Updated Mac Pros - which will be available immediately with a free upgrade to 10.5 when it ships - will also be in the spotlight during the rumored event.

Apple Recon also says that it is likely that the often-speculated-about March 24 release date for Leopard will also be announced during the event. Says Apple recon:

There is some speculation that we may see a week earlier or later for this event, depending on the status of Leopard, but this is the most likely date which is being planned (by this time, LeopardÂ?s new interface will be complete and the OS will be finishing up testing). What better way to demo Leopard than with a brand new 8-core Mac Pro?
