I have never seen this crazy mass of crowd lining up for an Operating System. I will never forget the night that I saw people getting comfy in their sleep bags only to get their Black Parade album signed by the artist close to HMV store at Yonge & Dundas but what I am talking about right now is those snazzy people digging in their iphones and macbooks while staying in the line that started right in front of the Apple Store in Eaton Centre and continued up to European Jewelry if you guys know that shop in the this semi big mall.

 I asked the first guy in the line who was 33-35 and he told me that he has been there since 3 in the afternoon. Basically means 3 hours of standing somewhere still to get your hands on what I call the most advanced operating system that was priced $130 for all versions. No matter it's upgrade, clean install, home premium, ultimate, business or whatever that stupid Ballmer is coming up with, in the absence of one of great men of software industry, Billy The Gates. Carrying around a SLR camera brings a lot of legitimacy that I wasn't expecting and people who were passing by keep asking me questions about what's going on here or they would pose for me if they have noticed that I was shooting but they all had something similar on their faces after my answer. They were quite overwhelmed or better to say impressed of excitement at this scale for only an OS. Lot of random people thought that there might be something on sale but I told them that Apple never puts anything on sale. I wondered around for half an hour since I was there around 5:30 and I took few pictures then I returned back to the entrance and I saw all the employees have lined up in both side of the store cheering, screaming and making a lot of noise to get people even more excited. At 6:00pm Eastern time, the doors were opened and people were greeted with smiles, tips on the shoulders, clapping and cheerful sounds. It was around 7 pm that I could finally get in to the store and get my hands on leopard and I should say that I was quite happy with the new look and cool features that all together makes a better  experience for someone like me who spends most of his life behind this soulless machine.Here are few shots
