Haven’t had your fill of fake Leopard yet? Perhaps movies are more your cup of tea. A video that looks to be building on the faux Leopard screenshots posted earlier in the week appeared recently on YouTube. It purportedly demonstrates a tabbed Finder, much like the screenshots.
My comments about the screenshots apply equally to this video. While I think a tabbed Finder would be pretty cool, and I could see Apple putting this into place, I don’t believe this anything other than an elaborate hoax. Still, I’m impressed with the work that they’ve put into it. As with the screenshots, if this was anywhere near legit, Apple would have cease & desisted YouTube into the ground. Also, as one of the commenters points out, Apple does not habitually label their OS as “Pre-releases.”
If only these fauxteurs would use their talents for good instead of stupid.

Actually Apple does label it's pre-release builds with the "Version: 10.4.x (Pre-Release)". Then when you click on it it will tell you the build number.
I haven't seen the 10.5 pre-release, but this was definitely the case with 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4.
