I completely agree, Apple would have issued a press release by now if it was going to be out August 28. Didn't Apple issue a press release 10 days prior to the official Leopard launch?
But do they need to after all its not a new OS more of a revamp to remove ( in apples eye ) unwanted code
Yes. Even though its focus is more narrow than previous reference releases of Mac OS X (refine and polish rather than reinvent), it is still a reference release, and deserves a full press release.
yes, the store went down 10 days before release so people could order before the release and they put a press release out.
I think they'll want the same time frame again, it could happen next week for release on the 4th. I guess we'll see if any new builds come out between now and then.
No. The reasons why 64 bit apps are faster (typically 10-15% faster, not 2x) are fairly complex, and unrelated to the obvious "twice as much data" concept.
No, some apps will be faster of because of the 64-bit data manipulation. A few will be MUCH faster because of this. The extra registers you get use in 64-bit will help speed things up too.

Yep, it's on the regular Apple Store site. Just look for Shop Mac->Mac Software->Apple Software->Newest and it is the first item in the list.
My friend installed the latest seed and right before I was about to install it, he told me that there's no more 2 finger tap to right click option. Is this true?
It's the only thing that's preventing me from installing it right now.

He probably needs to go to the system prefs and enable it again. 2 finger tap right click works fine here on the 10a432.
Alright thanks guys.
He just told me that he did a clean install, and the option is now is system preferences. He said it wasn't there before.
Link to the page please? Couldn't find it anywhere at apple.com/uk.
So if I were to pre-order the family version of snow leopard from amazon on August 6th, would I get it the day it comes out? Lets say the date really is August 28th, would it be shipped then?
