Leopard - 1 week to go?

Well, Leopard is arriving in October, so I make that a week away. Well, technically at least although I doubt we'll be queuing up outside the Apple Stores on the 1st October. Any ideas/suggestions about when it will be available? Or at least when we'll find out??

Andy

I bet the 26th, but could be wrong. Hopefully they won't delay it beyond Oct.

Tuesday has been their favourite day to introduce stuff lately, but I think the last sales-day of October will be it. It hasn't been declared final yet (from what I hear). From previous releases, we know that it takes about a month from golden master (the release candidate that turns release) to the actual release. The current build seeded to developers has two _mentioned_ issues, so it's not the final build of 10.5.0.

Certainly, Apple will _not_ release it in the first week of October. It'll be the last.

DeltaMac will become famous soon enough
The iPhone was sold starting on a Friday, so, I like Oct 26, at 6PM
I expect Apple to make some announcement soon, probably by the first of October

Tuesday has been the day for unannounced product updates and product releases for years. Thursday as a second alternative. Just never on Monday (and software never on Friday either... except 10.4 was released on a Friday if I remember correctly as I was working until 1 AM that night). Wednesday is too mundane.
So a bit like an ideal day for a job interview... pick Tuesday if you can choose.
