The version which Cory is referring to is the one that was distributed
in May on the "Big Bang" CD, which is version 7.0a9.

Have you actually _seen_ 7.0b22, or are you quoting a rumour?  I'd
heard that there was an early beta (b5 or so) but nothing later than
that, and I had not heard that anybody outside Apple (except for the
odd minor deity or two) had actually seen it.
