OS X Snow Leopard Retail Disc Contains Build 10A432
Spanish site Applesfera reports [Google translation] that a Tumblr/Twitter user by the name of pedro10 has received a retail copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard in advance of Friday's official launch.
After installing Snow Leopard, pedro10 reports that the retail disc does in fact contain Build 10A432, which had been rumored to be the "Golden Master" version sent to manufacturing for retail distribution. Some unconfirmed reports in recent days had suggested that a different build might have been the shipping version of Snow Leopard, but this appears to not be the case.


As proof, pedro10 posted the above photographs of the Snow Leopard retail packaging.

This really isn't that surprising if you think about it. But I hope that 10.6.1 comes out quickly and the bugs are fixed :)

I'm sure some won't be pleased with this news, lol. I do suspect that those ones were really looking for errors and glitches, so I probably am unlikely to have any major trouble since my operations are so "on the surface." I'm sure 10.6.1 will resolve the immediate concerns, though. =)

O.K I may be the only one to say this. But the package looks sweet! I really enjoy the design process. Sad I know :D

I agree. There was a post on Gizmodo the other day complaining about the packaging, but previous versions of OS 10 were simple X's. This is cool looking.
