The Official Mac OS X "Tiger" Thread


Recommended Posts

So if Tiger gets released on April 29th, when will new Macs start shipping with the Tiger pre-installed?

If history repeats itself, they will probably start shipping Macs with Tiger installed about a week or two before then. I seem to recall that when Panther was released, some users unexpectedly got it with their machines during the week before the official release date.

I'm just hoping they let ADC members download the final GM soon :(

I'm not into Mac scene, but, since it's a minor update (it's not OSX 11), shouldn't it be a free update for all OSX 10.x users?

And if $129 is the upgrade price, which is the normal price?

That: "If you purchased a new Mac on or after April 12 that didn?t include Tiger, you can upgrade for just the cost of the media." sounds fair to me thoug:):)

Minor updates.... 10.3.3 >10.3.4 > .... >10.3.8 (current "Panther" build)

Major updates..... 10.0 > 10.1 > 10.2 > 10.3 "Panther" > 10.4 "Tiger"

There is no price difference.... the disks are $129 all around (unless EDU).

Updates are on the release cycle.

10.3 had 8 so far; If you had 10.3.0 then 10.3.1, 10.3.2 ... 10.3.8 (Possibly 9 soon?) were free.

When 10.4.0 comes out then you need to buy a new copy.

It is kind of like Windows 98 update to Windows 98SE .... Only better:D:D

Hope that explains it for you...

Was Windows XP a free update for Windows 2000 users? After all, XP was Windows NT version 5.1 and 2000 was version 5.0.

Was Windows 98 a free update for Windows 95 users? After all, 98 was Windows version 4.1 and 95 was version 4.0.

Why is it that people keep having to point this out over and over and over again?

whats the build number for the final release?

No one outside Apple really knows for sure. They haven't released the GM to ADC members yet, but most likely either 8A428 (which was rumored last week) or something a little later than that if there were any last minute bugs. I'm running 8A425 which is the most recent one given to ADC members.

Ok, thanks :) although I think that intermediate releases like Win98 SE are just stupid and made just to give more money to Microsoft. I hope Tiger is to OSX more than just a Second Edition OS to Microsoft.

I'm looking into a MacMini to introduce myself to Mac soft/hardware. It says: From $499. Is that including Tiger? (I mean, if I buy it after Tiger is released)

Is OSX based on UNIX tecnhology?

YES!

Ordered mine with my educational discount :D

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The start of a new month means Nvidia is also preparing a whole month of additions to its GeForce NOW supported games list. The cloud gaming platform received its first update of June today, revealing games like Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Gothic 1 Remake for the service, while at the same time revealing what's incoming in the next few weeks too. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Jurassic World Evolution 3 (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass) Fatekeeper (New release on Steam, available June 2) House Flipper Remastered Collection (New release on Steam, available June 4) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 4) GOALS (New release on Steam, available June 4) Gothic 1 Remake (New release on Steam, available June 5) NTE: Neverness to Everness (Launcher) The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Epic Games Store) XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Steam) Nvidia also plans to add support for these games during the rest of June, though more titles will probably land as weeks go by too: STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions (New release on Steam, June 11) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, June 11) Denshattack! (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, June 17) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (New release on Steam, June 18) Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, June 22) Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains (New release on Steam and Ubisoft, June 30) Farever (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
