Sorry, I think Apple thought all of you would like it faster than
that.

Just out of curiosity, did Windows ship "internationally" in dozens of
versions at once? Did they have it in every computer store at the same
time? 

Apple (cross fingers and pray FedEx does right) should have all the
international versions done mid-July, and should have PUK's in stores
all over the continental US this week.

Mind you, I still am impressed with Windows for being able to get
everywhere at once, and the dealers who got it "first" for preventing
the hackers from getting it before the allotted time.
