I would really like to hear some developer's views.
Is this the build that someone recently said was close but not quite?

Well, that's alright then.

If it's all true, I am happy to see my scepticism about an April release completely scuppered. Sometimes it's nice to be wrong... but I can't get over the April Fools thing, somehow.

rendezvouscp · Mar 31, 2005, 05:41 PM

Ah, this is so exciting. I really hope they go all out tomorrow with releases and announcements!

8A420 only had one known issue - it wouldn't boot on 1.33 GHz iBooks with SuperDrives. 8A425 fixed that, then they must've found one other problem before 8A428.

This is great news; I'm just as excited as the day they announced my iMac G5. If tomorrow is the day, I shall be rejoicing.

Freg3000 · Mar 31, 2005, 05:43 PM

Here we go....seems like tomorrow would be a good day to announce now that it is done.

WTG Apple.

lalcan · Mar 31, 2005, 05:47 PM

AoWolf · Mar 31, 2005, 05:49 PM

Very good I think all of us here really want this to come out as soon as possible.

Demon Hunter · Mar 31, 2005, 05:50 PM

Yeah, but to those in Cupertino 10 4 is the 4th of October.

In other news... yay! Looking forward to it, lots.

runninmac · Mar 31, 2005, 05:52 PM

How exciting! Can they do a press release tommorw? Afterall it is a Friday.

DeSnousa · Mar 31, 2005, 05:52 PM

Release the Tiger just be careful his powerful.

yoda13 · Mar 31, 2005, 05:53 PM

I cannot wait, and am ready to order!!!

Ambrose Chapel · Mar 31, 2005, 05:56 PM

it seems tiger's release is the stepping stone for new iMacs, eMacs, iBooks, Power Macs, and Pro Apps...bring it!

interested to see what the final core image hardware requirements will be

Toe · Mar 31, 2005, 05:59 PM

It still seems sketchy to think that they could have CDs/DVDs burnt, printed, packaged, and shipped by April 15th. That only gives them 2 weeks to get all that done.

Apple likes to unveil new OSes with lots of fanfare and promos. I don't think they'd release it without it being available.

...or have they sped up their production process now?

P.S. Any word on Server?
