    Let the free market go. Pirating is a part of it just as illegal activity is necessary in a democracy. If they stopped it, it would only go again and next time people would try harder.

    I'm waiting for retail.

    When this sort of thing happens I always think:

    1. The disk looks post-production, the leak was probably intentional.
    2. The disk looks really similar to the last one, the disk was probably a hoax.
    3. Oh wow, its real. I see Steve Jobs pacing in front of handcuffed employees and extracting leak confessions with a tazer... *shudder*

    They handed down thousands of copies at WWDC and didn't expect a single one to leak?

    No, that's just a driver issue, boot it from a floppy. If the key jump off of your keyboard like popcorn, that means its working.
