If 8A432 is truly 10.4.1 as AppleInsider is reporting, then 10.4.0 is fairly close (why would they be working on 10.4.1 now and then wait 2 more months to release?)
The supposed "delay" could be two things:
1. They found some flaws in the GM and wanted to have 10.4.1 ready with the release (so they don't want a release date announced and not have 10.4.1 ready in time)
2. They aren't going to have a big lead time on the release date (perhaps a week or less between the announcement and the actual release)

Correct me if Im wrong but even if you still find bugs and whatnot on the builds Apple releases and they keep appearing, not fixed and left open by Apple, that doesn't always mean that its not done. Apple may already have the fix and have done bits around it, but have not put it into the build they release to people, as they may only want certain things testing...i dunno...i heard that somewhere!!!

with the notable exception of Panther

I'm pretty sure you CANNOT install the OS w/ the wrong CD. I say this because I have an imac with 10.2 and my girlfriend got 10.3 with her powerbook. I tried to use her CD to put 10.3 on my imac, but it wouldn't work.
On the CD it will say something like "iMac Mac OS X install"
Hmm, this may put the 'nail' in the 'Tiger in April' Rumor. Oh, well - Still waiting...waiting...waiting...
I think it is legal
I believe it is legal to install most software on two computers taking in consideration those of us that have a desktop and laptop for travel. Don't take my word though check the user agreement. I think we are allowed to share software with ourselves!

You are correct. If you buy a specific computer from Apple (a powerbook, ibook, powermac, emac, etc) the OS that comes with it is specific to the hardware purchased. However, if you buy the OS Retail boxed version, you can install it on any computer you wish. I had a friend who's Panther discs were stolen, and her powerbook, thrown on the ground during the ransacking. The hard drive went kaput and I offered to help. I used the Panther Retail discs to boot up the machine (the same discs I use on my PowerMac) and it all went well.
So, is it legal? No. Is it something you'll go to jail for? Not very likely.

I'm not even sure it's possible: if you get the CPU drop-in for Tiger then yes it's possible. But if you get Tiger preinstalled and on the machine's software restore CDs, it won't be possible to install it on a different type of computer (it checks).
My $0.02.
I had a problem with both my powerbook CDs AND my powerbook optical drive so I put it in FW Target Disk Mode (holding T @ startup) and installed my G5 system disk to the external HD... worked like a charm... and my Windows friends said it would never work

Not to rain on anyone's parade, however It seems as though Tiger will be announced at WWDC. My guess is that new versions of pro mulitmedia software such as FCP, Motion, DVD Studio Pro, and Shake (that will probably rely on Tiger) will be introduced at NAB - but not available until WWDC.
Just a thought.
Not exactly!
Not exactly correct. If you install Tiger on your home desktop computer and use it, then remove Tiger and install it on your powerbook and use it, you are technically not violating the EULA because you are installing and using it on only one seat at a time. As long as there is no dual installation and there is no dual use of the software you are legal.

Well, sure. But that was not what was being suggested:
"I believe it is legal to install most software on two computers taking in consideration those of us that have a desktop and laptop for travel."
I'm glad they are double checking everything. It would suck to buy a brand new kickass OS and then find out it's filled with little bugs.

What you did was illegal. Read the license agreement. The G5's OS DVD is really only designed for the G5. And even if it did work on your iMac G3 once, later on you may get a kernel panic with an CPU () error after an update.

I believe the installer checks your machine ID and compares it to a database of permitted machines you can install onto using that specific disc. The actual OS files on the DVD will be the same as the full retail version. So if it does permit you to install on another kind of machine (some discs do, some don't) then no, you wouldn't get CPU related KP's.
But yes, it is illegal.
