Mac OS X Panther: Approaching First Candidate
Of interest, Apple writes: "We are fast approaching first candidate build" in the included Seed Notes provided to developers. (as noted by ThinkSecret today)
As Apple ramps up towards as final release (aka Gold Master) of an Operating System, they typically go through a variable number of "Final Candidate" releases for final testing/bug fixes.

I think Panther is on track for a September announcement and September/October shipping.

How do you know this? Assuming I'm wrong and within the last few minutes it's been made available, what connection do you have to download (at least) a gig that fast? And then install & test it?!

AppleMatt: I think the other person was just taking the comments from AppleInsider in the most generous light :)
FTM, the creaky old "Apple on Intel" rumor should have been on page 2 - if only because there is no page 3.

Page 2 also may collect minor tidbits and links, that are not detailed enough to write a full article about.
that being said, ThinkSecret has added enough information to upgrade this to a first page post.
