I'd llike to know as well. I preordered on Tuesday, and the email i got said it would be delievered by the 26... but I haven't recieved any shipment notices.
I also pre-ordered on Tuesday. I really hope they come through. I've made arrangements to be home all day.
For me it's, I can either stay home and install Leopard on Friday night or on the weekend or I can go skiing with my wife now that there is snow on the mountains here and one of the resorts is open ... I'm just itch'n to try my new Rossi Bandit B2 skis.
My only guess is that they will be shipping starting mid next week and doing either next day air or two day shipping. If not, I don't know how they are planning on doing it. I do know that I will be very angry if I do not get Leopard on or before the 26th.
Quicktime wont update I believe, and I forget what else, but I think it will still work as an OS long enough to purchase when 10.5.1 comes out.
You're welcome to bring your own. That's what I did when I brought my stuffed tiger QuickBite to the Tiger release.
Didn't it say "shipping on October 26th" on this website?

So I guess, you won't get it until 27th at earliest. That's my guess...
You guys are all bitching about the prizes, when the Northwest only has Seattle/Portland area stores.
It would have been a really nice gesture to give us pre-orderers T-shirts too
Well if you get one I really do think I should get one.
Can anyone in here confirm that CS3 (specifically Photoshop) works ok with Leopard??? That is my only concern for upgrading. Has anyone used CS3 with the Leopard builds? How was it??? Thanks.
Yup, CS3 works just fine. I had CS3 Design Premium installed on a previous Leopard build and it worked great. Although, I never did any really intensive stuff while using the programs in CS3, but when I was working with it I never experienced any crashes.
US site said and still says in my order status "Ships by: DELIVERS ON OCTOBER 26TH." I don't know about the UK though.
you're absolutely right... this way the torrent sites will only get it around 7pm EST on release day (2 hours before the west coast release)...
Woo hoo. It gets released in Australia (and New Zealand) first...
if the GM has been kept internal - does that suggest that there are possibly some extra features that Apple haven't announced yet?
like those secret features that Steve was going on about last year and was saying they were keeping secret so that no one else would copy them?

These were announced a little while later at the next event. New desktop, new finder, etc...basically anything that wasn't announced the first time.
No, this is just to prevent people from Arring it.
Though it'll definitely happen.
My moneys on a Leopard GM torrent being online within 20 hours of release.
Most likely within 4.
I'm not stickin for the launch. I have work. Plus then, wow, t-shirts. That I cant fit into.
I'm going to New York on Oktober 31 and I was planning on getting a MacBookPro. What I'm wondering is if the Apple Stores have these in stock? Do I have to order in advance?
The reason I'm asking is because here in Norway it takes weeks to get a MacBookPro..
