According to reports, Apple has begun to distribute Mac OS X 10.3 Panther to its Apple Developer connection members. Earlier today, the company made build 7B85 available to 'Premier' developers, shedding any doubts that the build may not have been the true Gold Master.
'Select' Apple Developer Connection members can expect to receive their invitations to download the new operating system as soon as server loads on Apple's iMercury distribution system die down.
