Mac OS X Panther 7B85 Gold Master? [Updated 2]
While neither source has had much of a rumor history, speculation about Final Candidate status on the Panther Builds has grown since internal build 7B80 was stripped of its Pre Release designation.
Reports of Build 7B85 showed up on Monday as an Internal Release at Apple. No details on the build were available, but AppleInsider since noted some very minor tweaks in the 7B85 build.
Tentative target dates have been rumored to be October 24th, 25th or even in early November. More details as they come in...
Update: Appleinsider confirms that Panther has been declared Gold Master.
Update 2: An unconfirmed Page 2 report may provide some clarification on build numbers. (85 vs 86)

3 weeks seems like a very long time, maybe they will shipped sooner, and at the same time with iTunes for Windows :)
In fact, a revision of G4 towers and eMacs came preloaded with 10.2 two weeks before its release.
I'm surprised they went GM so quickly, especially since they were throwing out new builds almost daily. You'd think they'd want to beat the crap out of a FC build for a few days before declaring it "perfect".
...and as of 7B80, there were still some bugs I would like to see fixed. If only I had an ADC account, I'd report them... :p

Does anyone know how long it normally takes to go from starting duplication to shipping date.

The physical aspects of mass-producing the CDs (or maybe DVDs?) shouldn't take long...and I'm sure they already have all the packaging ready...it's just a matter of when Jobs and co. want to unveil the product.
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
The reason it made it to page one is that MacGuardians is not a usual rumor suspect, and it correlated with an anonymous report.
so, take with grain of salt... and let's hope.
