Whenever Apple does keynotes they usually do them at about 5:30-6:00pm GMT, I'd imagine it'd be the same for the release of their new software; so we'll pretty much know in the next hour if it's coming today or not :)
 
Something is telling me that we are going to see another GM seed...I think it will be this week and Lion will be two weeks later available...
 
Both Razorianfly and Cult of Mac have such an amazing track record on these rumors, I can't imagine why I'd doubt them.

I dont recall desktop software being released at 6pm GMT.
iOS stuff usually does, but Mac OS is run by a different team.


Stuff usually drops unannounced in the early hours over here I think.
 
developer

the developer site has just gone to "check back soon" mode for maintenance. Not sure if that matters here... Maybe another GM seed?
 
Well there's nothing more annoying than people insisting that it's going to come out on such and such a day and they seem dead certain; so much so that it's almost an official announcement, when in reality all of this is just pure rumours and nothing more.

Problem is, it makes me want Lion more than I did before, and some people, like the OP of this thread tell us information as though they were Steve Jobs themselves!

It comes out when it comes out, that may be tomorrow or the 29th - who knows?

PLEASE stop telling us you know it's going to be out on a certain date, because you'll look more a fool if it doesn't.

It is kinda funny. Apple actually rarely announce things, but we all jump on the rumour bandwagon every 5 minutes and then when the dates come and go with no sign of anything or a feature rumoured doesn't appear, we all slag off Apple even though they didn't actually announce anything of the kind in the first place.

Analysts are the worst.
 
Since they have been advertising autosave and versions with Lion, don't they need to release software capable of using those features? Any chance on an iWork release alongside Lion?
 
I have my doubts they'd be released together, but maybe after a week or two. As far as I know there's been no hints of it whatsoever, and I don't think they'd want to draw any attention away from Lion. But who knows...

Posts like the OP's just remind me of iknowstuff from the Arrandale thread and make me shudder. Dismiss crap like that unless it's backed up with something a bit more official looking.

I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot it too far, but Keynote is crashing on launch on the GM. It's looking for a file in the wrong place, I think.

That said, yes, I think they will be released together -- or, at least an update that does Lion Full-Screen and versioning.

that could be fixed with a Keynote update rather than a new GM.

yeah, it's a Keynote problem, not a GM problem (or, it could be a really wonky iWork install problem).

I'd expect a version of iWork that'll support versioning on Lion Launch, though.
