Here’s some advice to all of you guys who are trying to keep up-to-date on the latest Snow Leopard news: don’t go anywhere near a computer for the next week or so. There were rumors last week that Snow Leopard build 10A432 was slated for gold master, but then you read message board thread after message board wherein people complain about little glitches here and there. Hardly a sign of Apple polish! Then the disc artwork changes from a snow leopard theme to a space theme, à la Leopard, and there’s even more confusion.
It gets worse. Apple UK publishes a Web page that shows “August 28” as the ship date, but then quickly reverts that to “September.” (That’s what the Apple U.S. store says, too, “September.”)
In short, you’ll go crazy trying to keep up with all the shifts and turns.
So just hang low for a little while yet, lest you get excited for nothing.
People who are freaking out should have just joined the dev program. I’ve been running it since the WWDC in early June.
Im a pretty big apple guy, but saying that their initial release of an OS is free of bugs is quite outlandish. Every single one of their new releases has quite a few bugs in them. Usually 10.x.1 is a quick follow up release.
Just joined the dev program? doesn’t it cost a few thousand dollars to be able to get the developer OS releases??
