More On SecureClient For (Not) Leopard
Author: Dave Lewis
From the Check Point forums we see this message posted this past weekend. Apparently, this was an email response from Check Point Account Services to a customer.
Thank you for contacting Check Point Account Services.
We currently have no plans to support Leopard. I do suggest that if you want these updates, then you will need to submit a Request for Enhancement. As the demand grows for the product, we will address it quicker.
Please contact us if you are in need of further assistance.
Thank You,

Well, that’s a boneheaded reply if I have ever seen one. A couple hours later a Check Point employee posted this correction:
I just saw this post and it has to be corrected.
We actually had a Leopard build back in May 2007 when Apple was supposed to ship Leopard. It was working enough to start the EA/beta. Then to our surprise Apple delayed and we were 5 months too early with our EA.
In the recent Leopard beta takes we had some issues show up so we have not EA’ed yet. We are close to EA and we will post an expected date shortly.
Oh OK. I get it. It’s Apple’s fault because they delayed the release of the OS? Anyway, as soon as the release date is posted or sent in by our CP folks on the inside I’ll be sure to post it.
