Sure, nobody knows for certain when until the official statement from Apple that the Golden Master version has been declared.<\/p>\n<p>For now, I&#8217;ll assume that Apple will meet its promised goal. I have no inside information to present, and I will take the reports on the rumor sites that the GM is near with a grain of salt. On the other hand, if there are a few lingering bugs of any seriousness, Apple may simply get 10.5 out the door speedily, and then fix the rest with a fast follow-up involving a 10.5.1 and a 10.5.2.<\/p>\n<p>Once the release hits the store shelves, you&#8217;ll read lots and lots of commentary over how well it does, and depending on the timing, we hope to have one of the first reviews that weekend. I&#8217;m guessing that it&#8217;ll probably ship with a special event on a Friday evening, and I would submit it&#8217;ll happen on October 19th or 26th. How&#8217;s that for an iron-clad prediction? I&#8217;m leaning towards the latter, by the way.<\/p>\n<p>No, I won&#8217;t take bets, and I&#8217;m not using tea leaves. It&#8217;s just a feeling, and nothing more, but I prefer to concentrate on such things on our paranormal radio show, rather than in a tech column.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Click here to read the rest of the story\" href=\"http:\/\/www.technightowl.live\/newsletter\/2007\/09\/23\/newsletter-issue-408\/#column\"><strong>Story continued in this week&#8217;s Tech Night Owl Newsletter.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If all goes as planned, Leopard will reach the DVD pressing plants in a week or two and arrive in the stores before the end of October.
