Apple Seeds Mac OS X 10.6.7 Build 10J869 to Developers

OS X install is the same for all mac models. The installer does not install specific drivers for each hardware. I can swap my Mac Pro OS X install and my MBP one any time without issues.
The problem that guy is having must be due to something completely different.
Sometimes when you restore the OS X from another mac, and try to boot without repairing permissions, it might fail. After Disk Utility restore I always repair permissions.
Thinking about it, it was Leopard when he said that.
He runs Lion now as his primary OS.
i wouldn't doubt he's right as Apple normally gives developers a year or so, or at least it has in the past. As well, Apple delayed Leopard significantly in 2007 when they shifted engineers to the iPhone team. OS X releases have been "delayed" for various reasons. I'd expect a late August, September release.
I checked/repaired permissions but that didn't do the trick. It just stops at the apple screen. 10.6.7 should have the new drivers to bring (standard) OS X the ability to boot the 2011 MBP's.
Now that sounds like a statement from MS, not Apple.
and it's time to start with fresh new names, not BiG Cat names. Maybe Apple could start the next series with:
Guppy, then Goldfish, then Red Snapper, then Sword Fish their last release would be Piranha!

Apple OSX NEMO !
Build number for OS X 10.6.6 for the new macs is different from anything else in existence. Kernel/Darwin version is also different. Because they contain newer drivers missing from previous versions. However these should be present in 10.6.7 so maybe it is a permission issue.

Physically moved the HD (SSD) over. It stops right away at:
Loading System\Library\Caches\com.apple.kext.caches\Startup\Extensions.mkext
But at the same time I think people do need to keep things in perspective given that the big changes regarding drivers will appear in Lion - I know when I installed Lion onto my MacBook Pro (13.3/9400M/4GB RAM/640GB HDD) the nVidia drivers jumped from 1.6.26 to 7.0.52 which probably lines up with the jump from OpenGL 2.1 to 3.x.
I think you mean this June not next June given that Apple has said Summer 2011. My guess is that Lion will be shipped around a month or two after WWDC.
I've just installed it and Safari build has remained the same which leads me to wonder whether the hack (on pwn2own) relating to a supporting library that was probably updated in the latest build.
once again, Apple is to scare to admit their mistakes and bugs, and refuse to list known issues. You either take it or leave it.
Please, learn what 'known bugs' actually means before opening your mouth. There are a list of bugs that Apple know about, Apple then triage those bugs and each update they address the bugs they have on file based on their level of importance. What is 'known bugs' are bugs that are either unaddressed or are regressions - a bug introduced during the development cycle due to a chain of dependencies breaking because of a chain further down the layer which affects something further up the layers.

No issues?
Sorry, but every time I read about Apple seeding an OS with no issues this comes to my mind:
Kernel panic with iPhone USB Internet tethering After about 20 minutes of USB tethered Internet the Mac would freeze with kernel panic message on screen.
This has been an issue since iOS 3.0 and Mac OS 10.5.7 (June 2009). I confirmed it since with iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4 with iOS ranging from 3.0 to 4.3 and Mac OS X 10.5.7 to 10.6.6 on my late 2008 aluminum MacBook and 2010 Mac Pro 8.
Bluetooth tethering and personal Hotspot work ok.
Let's hope it gets fixed before Lion comes out!

As another user already mentioned, each mac released typically has a special build number of the OS and likewise their own update channels. Apple does a great job at making this transparent; however, if you modify the installer to bypass the hardware checks you likely won't be able to receive updates since the software channel doesn't contain updates for upgrading from your version number. I suppose you could just use pacifist to force an upgrade and get back on track though.
I keep mentioning the vastly improved drivers in Lion, but so far nobody seems to pay them any attention (except you)! Besides what you just said OS X Lion now supports OpenCL version 1.1 (instead of 1.0) and AMD GPUs have gained OpenCL Image support!
Why are you jail breaking your phone to run an application that hasn't been tested to allow tethering via USB? So you're whining because you're using a hacked up phone to achieve something it was never designed to do - so how is it Apple's fault? how is it Apple's fault that you're doing something that, quite frankly, they have no responsibility to resolve in the first place.
I noticed a drop in performance when running GLView benchmark(a drop of around 15fps) so I wonder whether the issue is related to OpenGL not being fully optimised or whether GLView needs to be changed around given that it also doesn't pick up that Lion has OpenGL 3.2 support. From what I understand though the performance of nVidia leaves a lot to be desired thus it is kind of pushing me towards maybe in the next year or two to upgrade my MacBook and iMac to something that is non-nVidia.
Meh, I have a feeling that Apple probably wants to push the 'smart printers' being sold by HP than provide such a feature - reminds me very much of the ability to use Time Machine with hard disks hooked up to the USB port on an Airport Extreme but removed it in a later build.
No, unfortunately not
Apparently 10.6.7 still doesn't contain Sandy Bridge drivers. Installer says the system doesn't meet the requirements.
Now that sounds like a statement from MS, not Apple.

Sounds fishy to me

So they don't know that SMB shares on OS X suck performance wise (whilst being fine on Linux / Windows). Finder is still a POS. And iTunes is a blight upon the OS X landscape?
Oh, and repair permissions doesn't fix when /. gets owned by a user.
And for some reason my Intel SSD'ed MBP15 can take up to 45s to boot (the point at which it hangs differs from boot to boot)
I mean ok, 10.6.6 works pretty well, but *so do most operating systems today*
Each new mac has a special build number only. In the next point update, it equals out. So 10.6.6 in new MBP's is different than 10.6.6 in my Mac Pro, but after 10.6.7 update they will be the same. For any mac which is released before a given point update, you can swap OS installs between them. For example if two macs were released before 10.6.5, then you can swap any 10.6.5 installs between them.
