You have 7B85 huh? Hmmmmmmm...........

However, if it is correct that 7B85 is final. Then of course it is possible to upgrade it via the software update control panel. Just as we have been able to do in many Mac OS's for the past couple of years at least.
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

Very funny... I came into work hung over this morning to find out i am a iTARD.

I really was asking if people really thought this was the GM & if people were willing to install it hoping not to have to do a clean install in a couple week.

I think for Jag the developer builds had special version ID or they were one build short or something where they were not upgradable to like 10.2.1 or there after.

Just go to your closest CompUSA or if you are like me and live somewhere where to tax is 1/4 of a percent shy of 10% then order it off the internet.

Don't install it, wait for the retail and get the nice box.

Aside from the thread going no where, there is already a 7B85 thread.
