I see no reason to believe these are real.

I think it looks cool.

i actually think this looks legit, cuz else it's a very good and thought out dup.

in my not so humble opinion....total bs.

but hey its good for a laugh.

Agree. As someone else pointed out at another forum, if you had access to Panther and made the decision to leak images why not produce a detailed documentation of the new OS.

looks real but u never know

in the "about the finder window" in the screenshot, why is it trademark and copywrited 2002? if this is gonna be a new os pretty much, wouldnt it be TM'd 2003? especially since in the "about this mac" window it says 2003. :confused: the pile though looks kinda cool.

Can someone post these or host them or something? I can't get onto the site to see... :(

There are two good reasons to believe these "Panther Screenshots" are fake:

Arn doesn't buy them.

Apple legal has not come to crush the rumor and pull the images.

Remember the prelim MMD schematic? The heat came fast and furious on that one.

True hardware rumor test:

If it is a major renovation or new product that Apple wants to keep the element of surprise on, then expect to--

a) see hastily leaked documents illustrating the item, and
b) MINUTES later, not hours or days, said documents or images being replaced by Apple legal disclaimers.

If an image or alleged internal document is bantied about for a week on the rumor sites, it's likely a fake.

Rule of thumb: if a rumor looks juicy, save any related sites to your HD. If they are pulled 10 minutes later, you've got a winner...

well not really, look at the about finder window, ours says 2002. everything looks right on that picture, cant find any messups if it was fake. developers probably dont worry about little things like that until the end. we have had 10.2.5 come out and it still says 2002.
