Sorry, this might be a stupid question to ask, but here goes:

If Panther 7B85 has been declared GM and it has been sent to manufacturing, that would mean it will prepped to arrive in the shops in a few weeks or so, right?

If that's the case, then why hasn't Apple announced it's going to on sale and started taking pre-orders like it did last year with Jaguar?


Thanks....

Good question, nobody really knows for sure....we'll just have to wait on Apple to make a statement...

I would happily pre-order now if I was able too.

I don't see a reason why Apple shouldn't announce NOW that Panther is ready (if it has gone GM), and start taking orders....


Maybe I'm just too impatient!!!!

maybe they'll announce it and offer ability to pre-order tomorrow on 10/3 as some have speculated.

Let's make an attempt at keeping the one-thread-per-build trend.
