Leopard in October: Today or on Friday?

Some Mac users were expecting Leopard to be released during the Apple Expo, but it was impossible to test the future OS on any computer available at the event. Nevertheless, The Leopard should come out of the wood this month as announced earlier by Steve Jobs. Considering that the last built is stable and main bugs are fixed, the Golden Master version of Leopard should be announced soon, and the date of its availability known in the coming days (today?). A possible date could also be on Friday this week, as stated by one of our forum members; it will be October 5th, or 10.5.
It is about time as many switcher or Mac users are waiting for Leopard for purchasing their first Mac or changing their hardware.
