I'm just curious is there much point for us developers or anyone else who has happened to get their hands on the Gold Master version of Lion, is there much point in us upgrading to the Official version of Lion? because thus far, I can see now difference what so ever, correct me if i'm wrong!

Advice is very much appreciated.

They are absolutely the same versions. someones checked the hash code on them both. Not a change in either of them.

@Fragil1ty
Good stuff, what do you develop?

Well, it's not just me who uses my account, it's for myself and 2 other uni friends.

We primarily use to get stuff early, but we are in the process of 'trying' to develop games using the iOS dev centre and we also are dipping into the Safari dev centre side of things also, creating extensions and such? more often than not, we find that something is on Firefox but not on Safari so when me and my friends get together, we think, would it be worth while dipping into the source code and perhaps trying to make a compatible version for Safari? etc, etc.

On the iOS side of things, it's a lot harder than it first seems, we're all rather adept in programmable languages and what not, but we're not quite sure what type of game we'd like to go for first, although me and the other guys at the moment, with external help from friends who have graduated uni, we're trying to build/make a tower defence game at the moment, nothing too major or exciting, but a similar type game to bloons is it called? but make it better hopefully, time shall tell.

I agree, I got my MacBook to develop iOS apps and its a lot harder to get into than I first thought. Its also reminded me how much I have forgotten about programming since Uni

Good luck with the coding mate
