Didn't we have this problem with Panther?
I remember the disscussions that went on about the new features for 10.3 and the only thing I remember was a set of screenshots for Piles
I have a good feeling that there is some cool new features
(fingers crossed)

I remembered the last set of leaked Panther pics as being the features we later saw.
I remember that Piles screenshot, and that was an easy open-and-shut-case, IMHO.

Not necessarily because if they're real. Apple has managed to keep it secret until two days before the world will know about anyway, secondly Apple certainly is aware that there is always a risk of leaks. OTH, if they're fake, Apple has done even a better job keeping all the new features secret. Either way, with only day to go, Apple already is on the safe side.

Becuase they ARE FAKE. We have heard rumor that the finder has changed radically. They havent provided any radical shots (dashboard? purrrrlease) becuase they don't have the imagination to work up something to replace it.

I think that a "pipeline" feature would most likely have a nodal based connection system like "node view' in Shake or "graphical view" in DVDSP3. That would make the most sense to people in terms of connecting taks.

There were in fact screen shots that were latter confirmed to be real released a few days before the WWDC last year.

This is the only thing that makes me think they still might be fake. However, if Apple legal did step in, that would just confirm to all of us that they were real, so what's the point? They probably figure it is better just to wait until tomorrow so its a non-issue.
It seems more likely these are not fake, although I hope we haven't seen the big news yet. It seems these people love playing with us, why do they just send a safari about box that is a lot easier to fake than a whole screenshot with lots going on and the safari about box.
I guess we'll know soon, I can't wait

People keep talking about About-Boxes, as if it was something that counted. To put that straight: Anyone having XCode can make an About-Box within 3 Seconds. A real one, only with fake text. Indistuingishable from the real stuff.
However, what I kinda wonder about is the title bar of system preferences. Ever seen something like that? Just like in Metal, there is no true title bar anymore, the title goes directly into the window. Maybe Apple would even do that, but if they did, why do the About-Boxes still have the normal title bar? Seems strange to me.
And about the highlights in System Preferences: That is anything but something that Apple would do, at least that Apple would do until now. Imagine you enter something and two panes are highlighted. Yes, we all love guesswork, don't we? And this effect... Apple does not use any effect similar to this anywhere in the OS. Sure, they could introduce it, but I doubt it.
A last thing about System Preferences: The navigate-buttons are displayed sunken, just like in metal-windows (Safari, Finder). Appears funny to me.
All in all, I highly doubt that these or at least, some of these, show the real thing.

This is the DEFINING reason to prove they are real....
After I look at each screen cap, I actually click on the screen cap to close the "About Box" window. I can't help it.
Ok I'm a dunce, but tell me YOU didn't do it too, c'mon...admit it.

The build number in Safari's about box is the one I saw one my webserver last week surfing in via an Apple IP (I believe).
So there is some credibility there at least as far as Safari goes in my mind.
I usually see newer Safari builds as we get closer to a new release of either Safari itself or Mac OS X updates/releases all on Apple IPs.
So unless someone went to an obscure website with a spoofed Apple IP and this exact Safari build number, this aspect of the 10.4 rumor is accurate.

Finder still needs work. Definitely!
They could take a few hints from Cocoatechs Path Finder like incorporating access of utilities (i.e creating disk images for one) from the Finder.

I'm not commenting whether I think these are fake or not, but you've ignored a few much more plausible possibilities.
First, someone who wanted to plant fake Safari version numbers might naturally start by going to the websites of Macrumors members. Your public link doesn't go to your obscure website, but the pictures of your daughters posted on your blog do. Anybody looking at your blog is producing entries in the access log of your site.
Second, it isn't necessary to spoof an Apple address. Apple's a big company. They look at the rumor sites just like we do. Apparently they get a kick out of it, or at least they did back in the day of the really wacky rumors. I wouldn't be surprised to find fake rumors started by Apple employees just to tweak forumgoers.
Third, if the entry you saw in your logs was a legitimate entry from an actual Apple employee using an unreleased version of Safari, then that surfer doubtless surfs other web sites as well. If you saw this version number in your access log, then someone else (someone interested in scamming) might have seen it in their access logs.
Fourth, hey, it could be real. Who knows? I'm just saying it's not quite the either/or situation you stated. I don't think it matters so much now. We'll all know tomorrow.

You may like them or you may not, but they are supposed to be there so you can easily move the window around.
That is a matter of preference. I can see how it is useful considering how open/save accept dragging items from the Finder onto them, and I have been a Windows user for a long time, and I was indeed too used to Windows+E (opens up Windows' Explorer no matter what app you are in). I have grown not to miss it, though, after discovering LaunchBar, but I see your point. In any case, LaunchBar's not part of the system, so whatever.
What would be better? Yellow? ^_^ In any case, think about what you just said? Is that one of the reasons you would upgrade? Is that what you hope Apple is working on? Being such a subjective thing, you cannot really hope Apple is going to please everyone (i.e. you) with all the cosmetic decisions, so if they are so annoying to you, you have alternatives (candybar at iconfactory.com).
Tiger Screen shots
By chance did anyone grab thoes images off the site before the apple legal team came in and had them removed, and does anyone know a link to download them?

This rumor can't be true. Apple would never release a version 10.4 because we also know the significance of "10.4" in ancient Norweigan culture now don't we?
Apple Legal probably haven't pulled these since this is nothing new from what they showed us at WWDC. They showed Automater at WWDC, isn't Pipeline just about the same thing?
