Amazon has been taking pre-orders for Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard from the start of this month. But now, a new retail packaging and DVD disc art were reported by MacRumors. Not surprising, the box art from the Amazon's Snow Leopard pre-order links has been pulled off. The leaked images of Mac OS X retail package has text written in Portuguese - "The world's most advanced operating system. Perfectly optimized."

The leaked images with text in Portuguese are claimed to be authentic and the Snow Leopard discs along with packaging may be in mass production. However, this appears pretty early since last week, Apple had pushed Gold Master build 10A432 of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to developers. In these Snow Leopard Builds, the install icon and the disc art in the leaked image remain the same.

The back of the retail box carries information about the 64-bit support, other technologies and Microsoft Exchange compatibility. The photo is of a big snow cat with snow on its head giving us the stare as if saying - I'm coming soon!

So yeah, certain insider sources state that Apple would be releasing Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on Aug. 28 as opposed to the previously mentioned September date. It's likely that Apple might be putting this OS X to yet another test of say, installation from optical drive or something. We'll wait till we hear official information coming out from Apple itself.

Yeah that World of Warcraft sure sucks as a game on the Mac. Pity it runs at a better frame-rate with better visuals than it does on the same specced PC. And software, wow, imagine being able to download any unix app and ./configure and build it. Oh you you mean you can't do that on a PC without major software changes. And then an OS that is stable and consistent and fun to use, hi Vista I know you would love half that stuff. Sorry, you where saying ??

Mac sucks and always will because Jobs keeps it locked down with everything Apple. No games...and the games that do exist suck. Software compatibility suck, but hey, it looks good.
