shorty116 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Is the version on usenet & torrentsites that's been up for 2 days, the final retail version? there have been speculations that 9a581 is not the actual GM… Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67656-can-anyone-confirm-if-9a581-is-the-retail-disc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 As far as I know, it is the GM Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67656-can-anyone-confirm-if-9a581-is-the-retail-disc/#findComment-480978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty116 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 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?

Adrian Fogge Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Nope! Updates work based on the build number, not the version number. So, lets just say "if" hypothetically the retail build is not 9a581, then you will likely have a bit more torrenting ahead of you! ~Adrian Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67656-can-anyone-confirm-if-9a581-is-the-retail-disc/#findComment-481131 Share on other sites More sharing options...

marliwahoo Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 We will only know (for sure) when it is compared bit for bit to the retail version. I do believe it is the GM.

kevnaca Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 You'll just have to wait till tomorrow. It's only a day awayyyyy. Well it's 4 1/2 hrs till people in New Zealand can have it and 7 1/2 in Australia! Maybe they will confirm.

rollcage Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 apparently apple sent it out to reviewers a week ago.. i think its gotta be the GM. Even so, Apple could have a newer build that they didn't even give to reviewers (unlikely though).

patpatpoon Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 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.

The Baron Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 One thing I did notice on my version (9a581, not retail ), 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??
