Im still thinking Oct 33rd-even if they announced today-I doubt they could get stuff into stores *BEFORE* Oct 26.
For inventory reasons, stores usually like to get stuff a couple days early so they can sort out various issues-put ads in print, displays, signs in windows-distribution-and actually HAVE the product in hand. Not nice to disappoint folks.
So really, Leopard should be in stock physically at all stores by the 24th, which is really cutting it close. TOO close.
Cant you see crowds storming a Best Buy, et, al-to be told-"sorry it didnt come in today maybe tomorrow"
Or said employees selling them out of the back of a just-arrived semi-trailer truck in the front of the store on Oct 28?
Steve wouldnt have to fall on his sword if Leopard came out Nov 2-3-
after all, it is STILL a week in October.
And not 23 release announcements and 5 years later, like VISTA
You forget the only stores getting this are Apple stores...so they are already ready...

MacRumors said:The Build number for the latest GM candidate is said to be 9A581.
Oct 33rd? What calendar are you using?
Plenty of room for bug fixes between 9A559 and 9A581.
Pope OSX the Fifth?

Got a link to what you quoted ?![]()
I think the MR page 1 article was updated to include the supposed internal build number, which he is comparing to the last public release number.
I wasn't advocating a serial key - I was trying to state that it was futile to have one, as anyone that will pay for OS X will, and anyone that won't still won't. I'd just like to be able to download OS X when it comes out so I don't have to wait for it to arrive! Also, I don't have any need for a box, manual, anything like that. All a big waste of paper!
It was a joke..Long story..Has to do with contributing and seeing advertising![]()
That would mean no software would ship, ever. There are a couple of famous mathematical proofs that show that it's impossible to write a program that is totally bug-free, and impossible to write any program with a loop that is guaranteed to exit. Engineering is all about trade-offs.

#include <stdio.h>
int main (void) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
printf ("Welcome to MacOS X 10.5!\n");
return 0;
}
Ok, the Safari spelling checker doesn't like it, but to me it looks bug-free and it has a loop that is guaranteed to exit![]()
Not going to happen, the 31st is Halloween.
The 26th date is based on the fact that the last few OS releases have been the last Friday of the month.
Oct 33rd? What calendar are you using?
Halloween isn't a holiday. It's just a day that was made up so people spend money.
