Not trying to make a big deal out of this, but I did steal a copy that wasn't mine...so I got rid of it and will wait until Dec 31st () to get my copy (I must say that it's going to be hard as it's awesome!).

Not passing judgement on those who did...but thought I'd share my own experience.

Though I will say that I hate people like the one's who constantly made remarks about having pirated copies-they may be right, but they're still *******s.

Have fun all...

Even though it is WIDELY available to those would would like to "early adopt", for me it is probably better to wait until the final release comes out to enjoy Panther. Granted, it is some time to wait, especially while the screens are coming out, but not having to deal with pre-release software is a strong argument, as well as the "kid on christmas" aspect of opening a well done, finished, polished OS.

If you aren't a developer, don't touch Panther. It's not anywhere near ready for public consumption.

Ditto.
