As far as I know, that's the build number for developer preview 3.

This finally got updated (I think it's been the same since Leopard).
The background on the little desktop icon in the Finder 'Go' menu, and the one in Desktop & Screensaver in System Preferences are still Leopard Aurora though...

I can confirm: That is DP3.

Dev Preview 4 is only available via the Dev Connection, not Software Update. That's probably why.

I think this is a new feature. The option to use the dashboard with the old overlay style, rather than as a space.

Been there since at least DP2...granted the preference pane was different.
Funny it downloaded the first 400MB (from the 656,6MB) in more or less 5minutes and now I have to wait one hour :'( Well I'll let it download and I will see the changes tomorrow.
But I must say that even from DP2 Lion was already pretty stable and DP4 has less bugs than snow leopard on the beginning. In any case I couldn't go back to SL. I love how they got it all together with mission-control+ expose (I'm glad they put the gesture for that one back in) but I'm not that convinced about Launchpad...

So if the cost of Lion is $29.99 US, and with a stronger AU $, how come we're paying $32???
I know it was mentioned on MR about it being -18% in Australian due to it being a download and therefore can go with the current exchange rates, but it seems Apple Australia is doing whatever it wants using an exchange rate from a year ago!
Rip off.

i hope that they improve the amount of time it takes to load the desktop it gets slower with the less and less free space, and apparentely also if you have a lot of items on your desktop, that affects the speed as well

I believe even software has import taxes when distributed to non-native countries.

thank god...200 megs to go!
29.90 is without any taxes, and as Lion technically will be sold by Apple Australia they've to add any local taxes.

US $29.99 = AUD $28.41 at current exchange rates.
Add 10% GST and you're at $31.25.
So... you're pissing and moaning about 75 cents. Seriously.
EDIT: BTW, the US price does not include sales tax which varies between 4-10% for most US states. And let's not mention the average wage in the US compared to Australia, because that's just a massive can of worms...
