So clearly it's not the third-party developers that leaked it.

Personally, I think it's a healthy thing for both Apple's employees and developers to maintain a healthy critical eye toward the company.

Those policy setters could have avoided this and perhaps they'll take heed to the complaints. Perhaps we won't have to deal with this issue for 10.6. As for the software engineers, QA engineers, designers, and project managers, kudos for a great new OS release. I'm anxious to move forward (and occasionally backward, thanks to Time Machine) with Leopard.

A bit grumpy about that, I am. Even though I'll be much more cautious about upgrading my Xserves than I will my desktops, I'd still like to have the upgrades in my paws anyway. You never know, I might get really bored some weekend and feel the need to upgrade my entire network. :-] I was just informed by my Apple Sales Droid that I won’t be getting my Leopard Server maintenance upgrades for a while (within 4 weeks), even though Leopard Server ships today as well.
