eWeek provides confirmation that Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) will be released on April 15th, 2005.

Sources told eWEEK.com that Apple plans to make copies of Tiger available in its own retail stores as well as through independent dealers by April 15, with the official announcement of the product coming earlier in the month.

This provides confirmation to a previous report by ThinkSecret indicating the same.

Is this the news we have been waiting for? :D Or is it another missed guess?

Edit: I guess if it is "confirmed" then it must be true, but what will the new other products be?
 
If this was the case, surely Apple would be promoting the fact wildly. It is, after all, only a month away. If I was about to launch a new product I'd be getting new and old customers excited by it.
 
Hmmm... fact or faux or fact or faux or fact...? I sure hope so. Someone buy up my graphics card now so that I can have some cash to run to the apple store on the 15th. =D Time to go on a collection spree from my clients again.

They have been: via WWDC, via ADC, via the Tiger pages on their website, and possibly via these "leaks" (i.e., it is not unknown for a company to leak information as a form of viral marketing).

True, but I'd want to be taking orders at this late stage.

I wonder if this is another instance of reporting things found at a rumor site? Is wondering this cyncical of me? Probably, but the thought is there anyway.
 
It's a joke, here's the proof:
as well as through independent dealers

Apple will probably not give Tiger to independent dealers within 2 months after the release... ;)

Wait, if Tiger's launching this soon, why would you bother purchasing Panther only to upgrade weeks later? :confused:
 
Bear - "I wonder if this is another instance of reporting things found at a rumor site? Is wondering this cyncical of me? Probably, but the thought is there anyway."

I was thinking the same thing. Also, remember, April 1 is Apple's birthday.
I very strongly believe that Tiger will be out in time for NAB (Apr16-20).

From people who get developer builds, sounds like Apple are rushing it.

Hope its not a highly buggy initial release.
 
Even if this is true, I think I'm going to wait until June to install it, which is when I thought Tiger would ship. From what I've read, Tiger is still buggy, and I don't believe that it'll be ready for prime time this soon.
 
thinking 1st april : MY BIRTHDAY lol i know before you all stump in all the fool jokes lol. mmm is it also apple's birthday too ?

i would think we would get a countdown timer anytime soon from apple
