Apple’s “feature complete” Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Developer (9A466) has leaked on file sharing services.
Various MacDailyNews readers report that the 6.06GB .dmg installs, seems stable, and has no problem running various popular applications.
Last August, at least five employees of an Apple retail store were fired after downloading copies of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard from the Internet that were distributed to developers at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2006.

wow.. at least 5!
As much as I’d love to see it, I’m not touching it until final release. I don’t want my mac messed up by a beta.
Yes and if at least one of the developers didn’t leak the release to the internet no one wouldn’t have downloaded it!
Boshuda that’s why god invented external hard drives.
I knew of a few retail employees that “quit” after sharing 10.5 last year.
Apple should do what it did when they released 10.0 Beta. Let people purchase it for a nominal fee and try it out–have it expire in November.
I’ll more than likely aquire it and I’ll still be standing in line at my local Apple Store to get it in October.
The Bastards! They should be rooted out, blind folded and lined in a windowless room & then be subjected to a remorseless barrage of evil farting from a variety of Camel Milk drinkers!
No one will ever contemplate such a move again after they see the after effects on the leaking sods.
god invented external hard drives? what day was that? the 101th? (binary silly)
and yet moses used stone tablets. what a maroon. what a nin-cow-poop. (apologies to bugs)
{yawn} Been running it all week.
@ shen
I don’t think it would have been as impressive if Moses had come off the mountain carrying a Secure Digital card.
It was only a matter of time. Ever release of the beta has been ‘leaked’ on the P2P networks. What makes you think that it was an Apple employee? You know it was a WWDC member. I am surprise that it hasn’t appeared soon.
I can wait until October personally.
ChrissyOne, you’ve created an impression of leadership here at the MDN forums. Someone with brains. Someone who people can turn to for an example. It’s a shame you’ve given in to your temptations, and crossed the legal line. I hope that’s as far as it went and you’re not helping to distribute further copies. Hope my impression of you wasn’t wrong.
@ coolfactor
WTF are you talking about? I didn’t download it, hon. Got it fair and square. Please check facts before mouthing off.
Perhaps I should clarify: I work in Technical Support at Adobe. Do we have an understanding?
@ shen and ChrissyOne,
Seeing as Moses obviously had an inside line, you would have thought he would be at least packing an early prototype Macbook Pro!
@ChrissyOne,
You said “been running it all week”, a comment in response to an article about a developer leak. That leads one to believe you’re running a leaked version.
My apologies if my statement struck you the wrong way. That wasn’t my intention.
Piracy of software sucks, so I’m glad you never went there.
@ coolfactor
It’s all good. I hope you can understand why being implicated kinda set me off.

ChrissyOne-
I won’t gone on a total rant here – because it’s totally off topic. Would you pass on to the GoLive9 folks to make the code more compliant with Dreamweaver. They have completely F’d it up.
MW: said – there I said it
@ Drunk Cheney
I can’t officially comment on that.
I can. I hate me. RIP, GoLive. =(
Decaf.
Some people would steal anything. No Morals. Once upon a time – -.
MW become – as in: What have we become?
“Piracy of software sucks, so I’m glad you never went there.”
I tried but Azureus is telling me it’s gonna take 78 days.I think i’m better off waiting till October.
Is it morally wrong to download it now and buy it later?
@ Shiva
Better ask ron.
@ChrissyOne
Your full of s**t
“Piracy of software sucks, so I’m glad you never went there.”
I TOTALLY AGREE
ChrissyOne, any way I could get a copy??
@ pcull
How so?
Oh, and it’s “you’re”
Shiva — no. lol
I wonder whether Apple will chase down the folks who are torrenting (is that a verb?) the file.
Ron?
Go on C1 – give Hotinplaya a copy. Who needs that creepy ol job in Fremont anyway.

I will wait. Over the last few years I have gone almost 100% legit on programs. I would always feel like a thief when I used the programs, imagine the whole OS!!!
Crissy, just want you to know I have all 100% adobe software. It took a while, but the license agreement thing about having an extra home or laptop install gave me piece of mind.
@ C1,
I hope you were not at Adobe when the decision to pull out of the mac platform was made!
Was it you who made them see the light?
CS3 ROCKS!!!!! Ps I am not a long coated flasher:-)
For those out there who have been using it (C1), is resolution independence in there? Steve-O didn’t talk about it but it was on their website in January. Also, are there Dashboard “folders” or some better way to organize 300 widgets?
Please censor Jooop. Kids read this stuff.
Oh, and do frisbee and hotinplaya feel the same way about movies? What about recording to DVD VOD?
All I’ve got to say is… it takes some major guts for MDN to even *report* this. You know that it will only lead to thousands more people downloading it illegally.
…since you work @ Adobe, can you ask the Flash developers to create a version for Opera 9 on Linux? Its sorely needed, and the current Flash for linux isnt stable on Opera (it crashes often)
Where in Fremont is Adobe ? … I thought it was off 280 in San Jose ?
its not exactly stealing, if the program was given away
@ChrissyOne:
Hey, I have this leak under my kitchen sink. Adobe has a maintenance staff, right? Could I get one of them to come fix that? Thanks. Also, could they bring over dinner since they’re coming? Thanks.
Great. It shows up on Torrent sites before the developer’s site. Good job Apple.
@ Chris ][
We don’t comment on leaks.
“can you ask the Flash developers to create a version for Opera 9 on Linux?”
No.
@ChrissyOne:
Nice!

MW: what?
TO: shen
calling other people maroons, while meaning a moron, makes you look like one. Check the dictionary for the meaning of those words. You’ll be suprised.
Jooop has said the most sane thing in this thread (although he said it with a tad too much enthusiasm.)
When people equate corporate copyright lawyer speak with ultimate morality, we’re all in trouble…
I know for a fact that Noah, long before Moses, had access to Leopard, Tiger, etc. and it was God who gave him them. The ark must have been the first hard drive since those cats were loaded in it.
Masa:
“Maroon” is a term used by the Warner Bros. cartoon character, Bugs Bunny.
Examples:
“Ehhh… (carrot chewing sounds) what’s up, Doc?”
“I knew I should have taken that left toin at Albuqoique.”
“Ain’t I a stinker?”
“What a maroon.”
“So long, screwy! See you in St. Louie!”
“Silly, ain’t he?”
“Whats all the hubbub, Bub?”
