I've heard that the May 13 release date for system 7 has been delayed until some time in June. Does anyone know the reason for this last minute delay? Steve.

Well, I havent heard this. One of my friends just recieved 7.0 Golden this IS THE FINAL VERSION! I was dated April 27th. I would really like to know where you got this info, because MacWeek hasn't said a thing. jtsweet@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu

I haven't heard that. In fact I'm running what I was told is System 7 final final. I haven't experienced any crashes or big problems with it that would lead me to believe that they'd hold up the release. Of course, anything is possible... This has got to be one of Apple's best tested programs in their history. With as many developers pounding on it as they've had I don't expect any big surprises. Sure, there will be a few bugs people find - all software has bugs and System 7 is fairly large, but considering the number of changes and enhancements made to the system, I'm very impressed with the job they've done. The release is only a week off people. Can't keep the rumor mongering down to a low roar? I guess not... -- michael -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE

Funny, that; I heard that the distribution disks were being readied at this very moment. Where'd you get your rumor from? >Does anyone know the reason for this last minute delay? I don't think there's any delay; it seemed to me like the gamma process was practically over, and that nothing stood between System 7 and May 13. Unless there's any official word, I'll keep my hopes up... << Brian >> | Brian S.

I believe this is just the original poster's way of saying that he read in MacWeek that although 7.0 will be released on May 13th, it may not be until June that it will be readily available at your local dealer... :-) --Frank Malczewski (fdm@wlv.imsd.contel.com)
