Apple Begins Training Support Staff for Mac OS X Snow Leopard
According to reliable sources, support training for Snow Leopard has begun, signaling an imminent release of the next major release of OS X. Sources claim a date of Friday, August 28th is extremely likely.
The source also provided several screenshots of Snow Leopard training instructions for AppleCare support representatives. The news corroborates claims from several other sources that Snow Leopard will ship on the 28th, ahead of Apple's announced September launch window.MacRumors has also heard from a purported AppleCare representative that support staff at their location had just been provided with Snow Leopard discs (containing the rumored "Golden Master" Build 10A432) for installation on their primary machines. The source noted that OS X Leopard was distributed to AppleCare representatives approximately one week before its October 2007 launch, leading the source to suspect that a Snow Leopard release may in fact be right around the corner.

This I don't believe. It's not like Apple's had time to test AppleCare's software on Snow Leopard. AppleCare Reps may have a Mac near them that has Snow Leopard on it, but I highly doubt it's their primary machine or OS. In fact, the last time I called AppleCare for Leopard support (circa Oct. 2007) my Rep. didn't even have Leopard installed. He had to move to a different machine.
apple revealed the ship date for leopard 8 days before (on october 18th 2007) MR article
it is 8 days until august 28th
Wrong. October 16th. They also took down the online store on that day for order, something they have yet to do for 10.6
