Well Apple are shipping a feature complete version of Leopard within a month to attendees of the world wide developer conference.
I subscribe to the theory that a *lot* has been left out of the dev builds, otherwise this update would be much ado about nothing.
Anyway developers will have their hands on it for 4 months before it ships, which gives time to make changes to their apps.
My question is, as Apple is giving away a copy to every attendee, how fine will they cut it before they start producing the disks? A week, 72 hours, 48 hours, 24 hours?
Also, have we seen any new dev builds recently, it is all gone quiet I think for a little whiles now. The reason I ask is that it is now < month to WWDC.
I guess the Mac OS X team may want to squeeze every last working hour out before WWDC so they can get a really good beta version out, or SJ may prefer them to wrap up development 1 week / 2 weeks before so nothing is left to chance. I guess the version he demos will come into this, will it be the beta attendees are getting, or another build?
Finally, is this the right forum to put it on, I had a quick look and couldn't find one specifically for Leopard, so this one fitted the bill? Moderators: feel free to move it if in the wrong place.
