Spanish site Applesfera reports [Google translation] that a Tumblr/Twitter user by the name of pedro10 has received a retail copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard in advance of Friday's official launch.

After installing Snow Leopard, pedro10 reports that the retail disc does in fact contain Build 10A432, which had been rumored to be the "Golden Master" version sent to manufacturing for retail distribution. Some unconfirmed reports in recent days had suggested that a different build might have been the shipping version of Snow Leopard, but this appears to not be the case.

I'm sure some won't be pleased with this news, lol. I do suspect that those ones were really looking for errors and glitches, so I probably am unlikely to have any major trouble since my operations are so "on the surface." I'm sure 10.6.1 will resolve the immediate concerns, though. =)
 
Package Nerd Moment

O.K I may be the only one to say this. But the package looks sweet! I really enjoy the design process. Sad I know :D

I agree. There was a post on Gizmodo the other day complaining about the packaging, but previous versions of OS 10 were simple X's. This is cool looking.
 
Here it comes

"It's a fake! Look, the print on the manual is slightly off and the edges of the box are pixelated."

or

"The build has to be at least 10A436 before I buy."

True Story.

Cant wait to pop it in and boot it up...and then wait for the updates! :)

And then we watch the "unboxing" of SL...hahaha.
 
The same guy also said he had no trouble installing the "upgrade" version on a clean hard drive.
 
Okay, can we at least get a confirmation whether one can fresh install SL on an empty hard-drive (without Leopard installed)? I mean come on, this is the biggest question right now. Who cares about the packaging/pictures. :rolleyes:

Ah oh, weren't people experiencing problems with this build?

No default 64bit boot comes to mind

There was never expectation of any consumer machine defaulting to 64-bit kernel.

The machines that are able to boot the 64-bit kernel are now great test machines for developers to write their kext's in 64-bit for 10.7.
