After reports earlier in the week that Apple has begun training for Mac OS X Leopard, Mac Rumors is now reporting that Leopard was finally believed to be "approaching Gold Master status" and that their "most recent checks" indicated that "Apple had 11 high priority bugs left."
It has also been revealed that another internal build has emerged as another release candidate.
"an internal 'GM candidate build' which could represent the final version of Mac OS X Leopard, if no other issues are found."
The build is said to be labelled 9A581.
Finally Mac Rumors was quick to the mark to notice an apparent slip-up on the Apple Store. The error which has since been corrected showed Mac OS X Tiger listed as shipping on October 26th, this coincides with the rumoured ship date for Leopard.
