    Has anyone else been contacted by Apple regarding this? They're shipping me pre-release version on June 15th, I can also download it from their website if I want (which I haven't yet).

    Just curious, has anyone else been given this opportunity here on this forum?

    unless it was a click link in the email fooled to look like a real one... so it comes across right in a copy and paste, but went to a fake site that looked real if clicked...

    nope but ive been using the most recent build of 10.6 and am pleased with it. my only issue ive had is with the dock and when you click on a folder that has many contents within it - Applications - it doesn't display all contents even when set on auto or grid mode. This was not an issue on Leopard.

    Apple gave the following reason.

    I'm a member of AppleCare forum for years, and been helping and posting there.

    Life is good. :)

    Awesome!!! Glad to hear it was legit. I'm just overly cautious with deals that seem too good to be true.

    I am using snow leopard build 380. I think that it rocks, but the dock exposee is not included in that build. It is stable and it works very well.

    That is pretty awesome for Apple to contact you with this. I wish I had the time to toy around with Snow Leopard.

    Is there an NDA? (A silly question, yes, but I must ask).
