Apple Updates Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) to 9A528d
After nearly a month without an update, Apple has delivered a Leopard update to developers. First, a new version of the Leopard Software Update Client has been seeded through Leopard's Mac OS X Software Update. Once this new Software Update tool is installed, Apple also provides Mac OS X Leopard Client Seed Update.
The new Seed Update is "recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard 9A527 or 9A528" and brings the Leopard build up to 9A528d. The update includes general fixes and is also meant to test the new version of Software Update.
Leopard seeds have been notably absent in the past 3-4 weeks. Apple's October deadline for Leopard is quickly approaching. Leopard will need to be finalized soon to ramp up duplication and distribution for the October release timeline.
Apple's last major Mac OS X release (Tiger, 10.4) was declared Gold Master on March 31, 2005. Tiger was later launched in retail stores on Friday, April 29th, 2005, almost one month later.

I was expecting an iPhone update but oh well, this is just as good. Amazing week for Apple, I wonder where the Steve Jobs Bandwagon Tour of Europe is going next? Maybe to go kill a Tiger. :D:apple:

All I can say is, I better be wowed!
Or else, what, you're going to buy Vista?
It's no surprise. You already know what's coming. What's left to be wowed about?
I just want the damn OS already. New finder baby!

I think it's pretty safe to say Leopard will be released late October. It'll be well worth the wait, though. :)

When you go into Costco to buy an iPod, what you pick up from the pallet of packages is a fancy face card you take to check-out and on completion of transaction you take a voucher to the "valuable goods" window to pick up your actual iPod.
I predict most OSX 10.5 users will buy a download certificate with a low-cost add-on fee for physical artifact discs, which can be picked up at your Apple Store (or Best Buy or whatever) for free or shipped for a small fee. In the mean time, most people will already be cheerfully running OSX 10.5 weeks before.
Software update has been tracking unapproved copies of OSX for years. They just have a non-enforcement policy.
