macOS Monterey PB 5 released?

[CLS7]

Some says that macOS Monterey PB 5 has been released, but not seems to be in Sweden? Has Apple take it back?

Probably distributed to IP's in USA initially, so presumably, once load on servers has been reduced, available to the rest of us. Reports are UK,AUS, and Sweden, not received the update yet...

I've seen this mentioned in a few threads and still unsure why it popped up either. Personal M1 MBA here and I'm the only user/admin. Hoping someone here has an idea about it.

saw that too...but it was an ordeal just to get there, man downloading the update at less than a MB/sec,(slow when can pull down at 13MB/sec), it took about 45 mins to preparing the update, it restarts, the boot loader shows Macintosh HD, (what you deleted and renamed my volume that was macOS12?) it looks like it starts up with progress bar, not the time remaining progress, the one that's typically seen starting up, takes ages, screen goes black, shuts it self down about 4 times then finally gives a time remaining progress bar, something like 30 + minutes.
Anyway 2 hours later made it to the desktop.
Surprised they were polite enough retain the 'open all app from anywhere' after running sudo spctl --master-disable at the command, normally they wipe that out after every update.

Oh and they getting sneaky right, noticed the other day, after a clean install, they harvested other SSDs for wifi and AppleID credentials and auto connected Wifi at the installer, as well as logging in with an Apple ID even after telling it to skip Apple ID and choosing this computer doesn't connect to a network at this time...cheeky
