OS X Snow Leopard Retail Disc Contains Build 10A432

I'm really wondering why Apple "rushed" this out before their September promise when it seems some are claiming it could use more work. Granted there is always going to be more work to be done, why not take another 2 weeks to do so.
Sometimes Apple confuses me.
Of course I will be at the Apple Store after work to pick up a copy and of course my girl will be pissed when I spend the rest of the night installing with it and playing with the big bad kitty.

I sure hope all of the people who walked around spewing "10A432 isn't the GM" like they were some type of expert feel incredibly stupid and **** from now on.
Two reasons:
1) Point of diminishing returns -- sometimes better just to get on with the program and move towards maintenance mode
2) September is already jam-packed with announcements?
What a great response. Makes perfect sense.
This also creates a little Apple hype burst to carry them into their September event.
Are you kidding? I didn't d/l snow leopard but I constantly MAX out my connection with BT... I'm talking over 2.2MB to 3.1MB per second here.
This really isn't that surprising if you think about it. But I hope that 10.6.1 comes out quickly and the bugs are fixed
And then there will be no more updates until 10.7. Comments as above are nothing but ridiculous.
I could care less about any of this. I got my new mac book pro june 29th and might upgrade later next year if the reviews are positive. Leopard is perfect already.
you obviously care if you posted here.
Why wouldn't you want a more optimized OS? that would increase speed and security for $29.
YES this. Why just a mere few hours ago they were swearing up and down 10A432 wasn't GM... haha
I think some of the same people swore you needed the "full box set" to upgrade from 10.4, but that isn't so either... just as I said, there is ONE version of 10.6. ONE. you get the same thing in the $29 and the same thing in the box set. Both will install on a 100% bare machine.
Surprise... 10A432 could apparently install with NO other OS present, this "GM" disk is 100% the same. Hopefully now we can put all that to rest.
As far as packaging I think they are just toning it down a bit with SL. They posted the GM days/week ago without second thought, that leaked easily... they were sloppy letting out info and boxes and drop-in discs too. It's just not some huge "month-long" countdown, fanfare, party-worthy OS for Apple.
As for me, its FAST as all heck and will be really nice in a few updates, but I am ready for the bitching in a few days about "is this IT?" "What's new?!?" etc, etc, from all the newbs. It'll still be a fun un-boxing and install for me! Gardens Mall here I come!!
what does a picture of a snow leopard have to do with apple or osx? i bet the leopard is thinking wtf.. lol
Nice package pics.
wondering why he did not include some shots of the build though.
Anyone who has 10a432 could do that. The box pics make him more of a trusted source. You and I are just bozos with a beta.
that's what i'm taking about. kinda slow
Holy Jesus! If that doesn't make Safari snappy, I don't know what could.
