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

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
