as far as I know, it's only a GM candidate. that's why i was asking…

It runs stable and so far everything is fine, i'm just interested because of software updates. If it's not the final version you're not able to use software update for major updates (like 10.5.1), are you?

well, i can confirm u 9a581 IS the retail, becoz i bought one, and it shows BUILD 9A581, and it doesnt show the serial no. like what Tiger did show.

 

so here's the conspiracy: apple didnt push out the REAL RETAIL version on time, but the shipping deadline was approaching, which forced them have to push one version at least. Thus, here's the one 9a581 which i bought and all we are using. i think the real retail will come on the software update, maybe 10.5.1

 

anyone agree or disagree for what i said?

I think apple just isn't concerned with piracy, if you are going to pirate it, you are going to do it, and anything they put in you will also be willing to circumvent.

One thing I did notice on my version (9a581, not retail :thumbsdown_anim:), when I went to install, the first page of the GUI after you choose the language has a 'Information' or similar button. If you click that there is a paragraph or two about this being a Development Preview etc. I'd like to know from someone with the full retail DVD wether Apple remembered to remove this??
