I'd like it earlier, sure, but the differences between the last beta seed and the final version will be relatively minor and the installed base will be in the thousands not millions in the weeks following release. ie, if it takes 1 quarter to sell 2 million Macs then that's 660 000 Macs running Leopard by the end of November... Oh...that's quite a lot really. And doesn't include upgrades. Ahem.
