They had 8.5 on display at some Silicon Valley retail places (e.g. AMC) this 
past weekend.  The sales literature (posters, demos of Quicktime movies 
running, etc.) were mentioning/pushing Applescript rather prominently.  My own 
suspicion is that this is more of a "compete with VB && VBScript on Windows" 
ploy, nevertheless they are mentioning the programmability of MacOS 8.5.
