I'm calling fake. I highly doubt the user went in and switched the background from the new Snow Leopard space background to the Leopard one. The one in the picture is the Leopard background.

Wow, that was the shittiest translation, seemed like a 1st grader typed it out! 2nd, why would Japan ship an english labeled disc to a Japanese customer? Something isnt adding up here. Although, even I have a copy of the Snow DVD. True? Maybe. Probably not.

The real question is - is it 10A432? Can the user submit a screenshot of System Software Overview in the System Profiler?
