Apple to Ship Mac OS X 'Tiger' on April 29

Consider mine ordered ;) .........................



Now I just need them to release the Powermacs so I can order that!!!
 
Now I just need to have 'that conversation' with my boss to persuade him that I need a new O/S for the only Mac in a Wintel dominated office.....shouldn't be too tricky :rolleyes:
 
This sure was a nice gift finding out that Tiger is available for pre-order on my birthday! I'll be ordering mine this weekend, and can't wait. :)
 
Fantastic news but....

I ordered a new PB from the online store on Friday, its estimated shipping date was today (12/4), the shipping date has now been changed to 20/04, what are my chances of getting a free/cheaper tiger upgrade? I think that would be fair considering that they changed the estimated shipping date :D

I might just add that the "tiger centre" on the website looks extremely stylish!

More than likely, you will have a free or cheap upgrade. Like, if you bought a machine with Panther preinstalled within the last 30 days or so, you will be able to buy Tiger for only $19... or something like that.

You know, you should call Apple, and tell them that you are willing to wait the extra few days so they can preinstall Tiger on your new powerbook... I dont know if they will do it, but its worth a shot!

I really hope this is the case!!! I will definitelygive them a call first thing tomorrow!
 
Just pre-ordered the Family Pack. Great Deal :D It looks like there's a lot more under the hood with Tiger than just Spotlight and Dashboard. Looking forward to this.
 
I am salivating over software. Dear God, what have I become?!?!?!?!!
WHY?! WHY DO YOU FORCE MY HAND TO PRE-ORDER WHEN I GET PAID ON FRIDAY?! WHY GOD?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

The features of this thing...will rock. Check it all out on the page that talks about ALL of the enhancements. Unfortunately, iSync was not on that page (or I glanced over it)....

Any one notice on the Tiger page under the upgrade tab the bit about " You can upgrade if you by a product on or after April 12 and there is no Tiger disc".

Wonder if this hints to any hardware products coming?

Some people are saying that, when you submit your serial number on the online form just put April 12, and it accepts it.
