OS X Snow Leopard August 28th Release?

As most of you know, or those atleast who have been following Apple and the release of Snow Leopard, you would know that yesterday Snow Leopard went into to Golden Master, which is probably the last build of Snow Leopard before the official release to us consumers.

Those who have had access to the Golden Master have been digging through the OS to find any changes Apple have made since the previous build, one thing they found was that the installation icon had been changed to Leopard's galaxy image, to a picture of a snow leopard.

One thing that several people have heard though is that Apple may be abandoning there original September launch window, for Friday, August 28th, ahead of schedule, does this make up for the lateness of Mac OS X Leopard? What are your opinions?

Pre-Order Snow Leopard

For those of us MacHeads out there who are eagerly anticipating the release of Snow Leopard, Amazon sympathizes. They are currently allowing users to pre-order Snow Leopard including bundles with with iLife ’09 and iWork ’09. The downside is that Amazon is only selling upgrade versions for Leopard, so if you have any other OS you'll have to wait for Apple. Whether you have Leopard or not, Snow Leopard is going to be an amazing operating system, so I suggest ordering your copy as soon as possible.

New Build of Snow Leopard, 10A394, Includes features shown at WWDC 2009 Demo

A new built of Mac OS X Snow Leopard was seeded to the very unhappy developers who received the WWDC 2009 build, which did not include the features shown in the keynote, however, the new version has been rumored to include all of the features shown at the keynote (However this is unconfirmed), including the beloved Dock Expose feature.The Dock Expose feature is being dubbed as a rip from Windows 7, ironic, because Apple has always poked fun at the Windows camp for stealing features from Mac OS X, but it seems to be the opposite this time. In Windows 7, if you have multiple windows of a program running, you put the mouse over the application group in the taskbar and the windows of that program will fan out to show you their content, much like Mac OS X Snow Leopard’s feature.The Apple camp has dismissed the idea of Apple copying this Windows 7 feature because it would take “far too long” for Apple to recreate that feature in the amount of time between the Windows 7 release and the Snow Leopard demo at the WWDC 2009 keynote.
