Mac OS X Snow Leopard reaches “Gold Master” status

People are talking about the current status of build 10A432 for Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the new operating system that Apple will be shipping to their customers sometime in September. According to many, this build, which came after build 10A421a, has been designated as the “Gold Master.” In the software development field, this means that Snow Leopard has been tested enough by developers and consumers to make it nearly ready to ship.
