I have 6C115

If you are a beta tester, follow your NDA
You are under a particular obligation to Apple to follow your NDA. NDA = Non-disclosure agreement. Of course there are people on these forums who haven't read their NDA in which case I'm surprised they are still official developers. And those who have downloaded it from Carracho and want to offer Apple direct feedback, join their developer team. It is only $500 a year! It is interesting to hear though what both beta testers and Carracho downloaders have to say, so we can see if the bug was fixed in the final release. Yet whatever you say, we should all take with a grain of salt as Apple may patch in a final fix. 6c115 is not GM, I read here in the forum. It is GM candidate. Enough said. I remember a time when 4k78 was GM and still some versions of it came with the DVD player and others did not. So even within the same build there can be variations. Let's all wait till the actual CDs hit the streets for the general public before we proclaim that Apple missed a bug or two in the final release. Because that build on Carracho is most definitely not the final release.

Duh. Of course they do. How else do they know who to send all those Cease and Desist letters to? They might not read each post and thread thoroughly, but they certainly read enough to do their jobs, and somebody starting a thread titled, say, "I have downloaded Mac OS X for free! Ask me how!" will doubtless catch their attention AND give them the impression (maybe true, maybe false) that piracy of Mac OS X is a rampant problem that they must address.
I'm not going to tell you not to download pirated software, even though that's a damn fine option to pursue, because you won't listen anyway. But common sense and self-interest ought to tell you that stealing something and then going into a public forum to say, "I stole this thing! Look at me!" is going to have some undesirable consequences at some point.
I am almost 100% sure that Apple does not mind of the Developer seeds get downloaded by people other than developers. While im sure they dont openly encourage it, they get alot more benefit if more people have it in order to get a broader range of users using it day to day. It allows for better findings.
I have been able to use 6C115 for a few days, and while it has a few bugs(none of which are that big a deal) it has further solidified my desire to purchase the GM when it becomes availible.

I couldn't imagine them having someone surf the forums for legal issues. I bet the use a bot and it periodically check the sites for key words in a database file they have. If hit's come up they probably peek and see how relevant it is. The bot probably ignores robot.txt files too. That's what I'd do.
Re: I have 106
Is your second hard drive Oxford 911 chipset? I am not only booting 6c106 off a second hard drive, but its second partition too!
I guess YMMV. I already put my order in for Jaguar on the day it was announced.

Shutup! I mean come on. This guy is nice enough to answer some questions about the upcoming Jaguar. It turns into a piracy is bad debate. Do you really care if someone is using a pirated BETA version? Its ok to pirate from Microsoft but not Apple, at least Microsoft only screws you with software, Apple does it both ways. So back to the topic at hand, and not bashing a member for trying to help.
I have a Powermac dual 1ghz, my biggest complaint is that damn beach ball of death, In OSX 10.2 is it still there? If it is, does it come up often?

I'm just proving the point that same build different features is the case here. I think it would behoove us all, if we are beta testing and we like what we see to any degree to go out and buy the final. Only that way can we really complain about a feature or lack of features in Jaguar. You do want there to be a 10.2.1, don't you? Oh and now Jaguar is available for as little as 98.95 to the general public:

10.2 @ amazon
Someone just told me they ordered 10.2 on Amazon UK, and the release date was 13th August.
Hopefully this means new PowerMacs will be announced on Monday!

Build 6C115 was testesd as the first Golden Master Candidate . After receiving feedback from developers, it was declared the Final Golden Master! It is being boxed as we speak. It will be leaving Apple's factories on its way to stores by this time next week! Please accept it people! There are never two builds with the same number-that is the purpose of the build number-to distinguish it. 4k78 was the GM build for Mac OS X 10.0. This was the only version that I can recall Apple releasing a press release for.
Please let this notion go! When you buy your copy at your local store on the 24th...You will have build 6c115. No "debugging code removed", nothing. Since it was a GM candidate. It was prepared as such-ready to ship.

Thank you all-have a pleaset day

There is no way 6C115(the one seeded at least) is GM...no way, i cant even mount disk images in 6C115, so i doubt that its GM. Most likey they made it to 6C120 or near that maybe 6C118. It was announced then a few days later confirmed, im sure apple did some tweaking, so even if it is 6C115 in the build, that build is somewhat tweaked.
Question is, with a 6c115 build if it has the bugs like not being able to mount disks, where was it downloaded from. Did you inform the administrator of who you downloaded it from to pull it off since it isn't the true GM? Or are you talking about a build from a legitimate ADC obtained 6c115? I'm really curious here. I'd like to see a report of where 6c115 was obtained from if it has no problems vs. where it was obtained from if it has serious issues. And if it has serious issues, did you mention to the distributer it has them? Because if you didn't more people are going to get the same issues with the misconception it is Gold Master, and will be so frustrated as to not get the final release from Apple. Don't take downloaded builds as gospel. Purchase the final release.
SubFredZero, how does 10.2 perform on your imac? i have a similar model and have heard that it runs quite quickly and smoothly even on our little machines, but is it really worth the upgrade cost in terms of features and their speed (especially with no quartz extreme)?
Maybe it's just the paranoia in me, but I wouldn't just accept an operating system from a source other than the developer. Considering that the Darwin base is freely available, any number of changes could be made and people would think that they had a legitimate version due to their enthusiasm.
People who have downloaded 6C115 or any of the others may have tainted versions which are causing problems which don't exist in the real version directly available from Apple.
This is a disservice to Apple users, developers, and the company itself.
