Not Registered as Apple Developers
I am appalled at this statement, it costs $499 for a company to register as an Apple Developer and gives access to Beta versions.
I would say that anyone who hasn't been prepared to register are not really 'Apple Developers'.

Not true. <By default> it shows only day of the week. However in all versions... 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 and now 10.6 you could go and manually just to ANYTHING you want
I don't think that tweaks are something that a typical Mac user wants to work with. So we can say that leopard has the 2D tiger style bottom dock? Uhm.
install failing:
Yes, we signed an NDA, that doesn't mean we have to be jerks, and it doesn't mean we can't talk about troubleshooting steps.
I fixed the problem on mine by going into the console, looking at the system log file for errors, and seeing what wasn't working. I ended up removing everything related to parallels desktop, and several other startup items that were indicating problems. Now happy to report I run 10a394 with no problem.

Can't find logs
Nice! there is a fix! Can you help me out a bit more about how to fix it thogh?
I looked into my /username/Library/logs/ files and folders and didn't find anything :/
thanks in advance!

There's a lot of open source companies and even MORE independent developers that is not going to pay for that where they would rather just focus on current applications and fixing it up and wait for the final release to get all the information they need for free.
Remember it is $500 per YEAR. not just one time 500$. That's just the basic level, larger companies tend to pay for the Premier level which is 3500$ per year.
I don't understand what you are appalled about considering many of the developers are not part of any company but rather just develop on their own free time.
Thanks so much. I'll try it right now. Looks like google desktop is giving me grief.
Update: Well I removed everything related to google desktop along with parallels so I'm missing something cause it still doesn't work.
Other updates....
I didn't have time to read all the replies, so I'm not sure if these items have been mentioned, but in my first couple of minutes with the new seed I noticed two other minor changes:
1. For users with older batteries, the exclamation point battery warning no longer appears in the battery icon in the menu bar, but not appears only in the power menu allowing users to again see the battery percentage meter when using an older battery.
2. The "Share Screen" and "Connect As..." buttons in Finder windows are now dark grey instead of light grey.
These aren't significant updates, but I though I'd mention them anyway.

Any developers have play with OpenCL and grand central yet? I was wondering what are there impression on it so far?
I was a bit deceive to see the only supported card for OpenCL, I guess I will have to upgrade my video card, ho, wait I can't I get a freaking iMac
Anybody known if the dictionary application have other language then english?
Can someone tell what are the GNU toolchain include in X.6?
Any sign of Blu-ray disk support in DVD player? Ability to burn them?
Any sign of other network support for iChat? MSN for example? AIM is not really used around here.
OK, one last, python version?

I'm a broke-ass student and I still buy Apple. I could have bought a $999 PC, but I don't see it as saving $500, I see it as wasting $999!
That's simply not true. Every developer who is a paid Apple Developer has access to the 10.6 seeds and has for awhile. Every developer who went to WWDC has the same seeds on DVD. The ones that don't have 10.6 are the ones that don't feel its important enough to pay $500 to be part of the program. Nothing wrong with that.
I find QuickLook indispensable now. I use it in Mail and Finder mostly, but I love it. I am constantly using it to go through pics, text files, etc.. lots of types of data. Much nicer than having 5 apps open to view the data.
My point is - it depends on the person.

Dictionary, nope, still the standard set as in 10.5.
iChat, still no support for anything else.
Python is at 2.6.1
Blu-Ray, can't say as I don't have a BR reader/burner available.
Yeah, jumping in here about Quick Look:
I think it's brilliant when you're cleaning out folders. Just hit the spacebar on the first file, then use the up and down arrows to navigate through the files, and cmd-delete to get rid of anything you don't want. It's seriously a joy. I love it for general use too.
Dock Expose is gonna be great too. That was the only thing that annoyed me about OS X - when there were too many windows up, my brain got muddy. Now I know there were ways to scroll through applications in expose, but it wasn't intuitive. Now, we've got basically the organizational power of the Windows taskbar with the elegance of Expose. It's gonna be perfect, honestly.

I wonder whether the improvement has to do with Safari being separated from the plugins - with the plugins now sitting as a separate process. I've been using Safari for several hours right now and the leaks and problems have pretty much all evaporated. If $30 means a more refine experience, then I think its a small price to pay for it.
Its a short one but i think it shows the 2 effects.
I have to say i dont like the scale one. Not that good.

You missed my second post about this which is exactly what you said.
Not every Mac developer is an ADC member and not every ADC member will take advantage of the seeding process. I know a couple of developers who works at large development studios who has a policy in place that they are not to focus on unreleased OS release until a certain period of time after the final release and enough users are using it. There are exceptions such as that the application has to work reasonably on the new OS or it has to be fixed rapidly to get it to work on the new OS but the main coding is not done on the new OS.
The general point I was making to somebody was that they shouldn't be expecting that all applications will work out of the box in 10.6 and they shouldn't expect immediate relief while 10.6 is still in development and one of the reasons is that not every developers have access to 10.6 or its APIs yet.
