Snow Leopard GM came on Tuesday 11th of August and released on Friday August 28. Thats 17days after the GM release. So its says nothing eventually

the reason I make this prediction is because, It seems like Apple might be starting a summer/July trend for its Mac OS X releases. Because this is the 2nd time in a row they plan to release an OS in July. So 19 days (give or take 2-5 days) after GM could also be part of that trend.
In any case, the actual ML MAS release date won't be later then the same week of the earnings conference call, because looking at the Mac OS X release history (Cheetah to Lion) they've always released them from the 20th-29th.
Unless they decide to surprise us by releasing it before or after that time frame.
Last year, when Apple released the pre-GM version of Lion, did they say it was an almost-completed version like they did with Mountain Lion at WWDC?
It sounds to me like the GM will be out soon (Possibly this week?) and final release maybe a week later as from what I have read the current version is very stable and as I said Apple have already said the current version is an almost complete version.

Golden Master (GM) is usually coming 2/3weeks before final release in the MacAppstore. So its coming probably this week or next week. And the final release by the end of the month.
The answer to the OP is nobody knows but people are going to repeatedly make the same vague guesses until it is released and someone who by chance got it right makes the inevitable "i called it" post like they had any kind of knowledge about it in the first place.
EST? I recall they releasing early than that in the past few seeds, more like noon-2pm EST.
Lol thats EXACTLY what I was gonna say! Cause the Lion GM news broke out around 5pm last year
to me it seems like they release it a little earlier than 5pm(eastern standard time). I'm basing this on this article from last year about Lion GM. (look at the date and time of the article)

Still trying to look at different Apple News sites. Like 9to5mac, osxdaily, macrumors, and cultofmac.com to see if an article pops up about OS X ML GM...but so far nothing
Idk. Theres a lot of speculations. But Im having safe bets that it WILL be sometime today if not Monday.
It would depend on if Apple sees this weekend as the July 4th observance. Many places, including my base here, view today thru Monday as the "holiday weekend" to make up for the 4th landing on a Wednesday. But that isn't across the board for everyone, so it all depends.
