Think about it this way:

No company can afford absolute, total, 100% secrecy about its products anymore because the public neds something to keep its attention focused. Take a look at the Edsel, the motor company had it under COMPLETE wraps and it flopped because the public lost interest.

Whether apple sanctions these leaks or not apple has to make it look that they dont want websites and publications showing these releases for the simple reason that we know what itwill look like. Now they are just working out the bugs and the quirks. No one will notice anything diffenerent between K60 and K73 or any other build of the week. NOt unless they go into the code and nitpick it to see if there IS something different. The UI wont change ladies and gents,

As for the DVD player, who needs it anyway at *this* point ? OS X will come with OS 9.1, and OS 9.1 does have a DVD player, so one can use classic and use *that* DVD player until an OS X version comes out.

on the other hand, these ADC members that pay to get this software, if they are violating their NDA, they are either doing it out of some sort of gain, getting somthing off a caraccho server that they dont have --> i.e. piracy, or just because they have the "the world must know" mentality. In any case, their NDA is violated, what can you do though ?
