diehldun said:just out of curiosity, why do people vote "negative" on the front????? what's so bad about having an update???
Sometimes updates make things worse for users rather than improve that is why?
However I have had no such problem and plan to keep up that record, here is to hoping for all the best..
As long as Tiger doesn't break anything I'll be happy. Just make improvements and I'll be content.
Anyways, not really looking forward to the next 10.x.x update. I'm tired of updating my computer
I hope these next improvements will be significant speed boosts and actually noticeable for OpenGL. And, I would like to see the drivers for the 6800 Ultra improved yet again. I'm not convinced Apple is squeezing out all of the power in the 6800 Ultra.

Tiger will introduce new problems. (in fact, you can substitute any new version of any major software for Tiger and it'll still be true)
From what I've seen though, the 6800 driver in 10.3 does suck pretty bad. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was a good deal better.
Just as I suspected all along. I'm forecasting April 2, 2005 (yes I know that's a Saturday) as the day the tiger's unleashed.wtmcgee said:
Coma
I only hope that this fixes the 10.3.6 PowerBook coma. This is the only bug I've ever run into with an update that was major, and even this is pretty minor.

I've played with the latest builds. I wouldn't expect Tiger in January at all. It's not anywhere near done. It seems like it's still not feature complete either, which would put it still in alpha stage. When we get a proper beta, then it'll be a couple months....

Nah, this doesn't mean anything about a Tiger release date
This could easily be a situation where they are trying to lock down a final Panther version with major bugs fixed before moving to Tiger in January and ditching Panther, or only doing minor compatibility tweaks to it in the future, like with Jaguar.
Who knows though?

I had a perfect record with updates until the 10.3.6 update (from 10.1 on) .....now I've got a mark on the loss side
10.3.6 no good for me
Hi, A note about the 10.3.6 and the update drivers, my firelite firewire HD didn't mount at all on machines with 10.3.6, while other Firewire HD's mounted with no problems on that machines.
The Hard Drive that I am talking about is the Firelite 80GB mobile HD
Powerbook 12" 1GHZ
G4 dual 1.25
768 MB
back to 10.3.5

Well, I have had no problem at all with 10.3.6 on an G5 iMac (17-inch Memory upped to 512), a 17-inch Powerbook (1.5GHz 1GB RAM 128MB VRAM), a 15-inch Powerbook (1GHz 512MB RAM 64MB VRAM), or a Dual 2GHz G5 (2GHz RAM). Don't honestly see what the fuss is.
Isn't it a bit too early for 10.3.7? You said? Think about it, 10.3 isn't really that old and if 10.3.7 is due "by the end of the year" it would fit into a neat 3 months cycle. I mean we've had at least 4-5 updates a year on the Mac, it's like a new Service Pack for Windows every 2.5-3 months! I don't think Microsoft can pull that off. Releasing at this rate Windows XP would be on SP17 or something now, not a shotty and incompatible SP2 (I have 2 PCs). Who can say that Jobs doesn't love us (and our money)?
Really, with all the updates to 10.3 was there ANY surprise that 10.3.7 will be due before the end of the year?
Panther had only been release on October 24th 2003! That's just slightly over a year ago.
At the update rate of 1 per 2.5 months, and assuming 10.4 is coming out at the END of the 1st quarter (March 31st), I predict another update or two. And I'm not at all surprised that 10.3 would still be getting updates well into Tiger's life-cycle. I guess we'll have probably around 10.3.8 or 10.3.9 when Tiger is released.

Well it has already been relieved to developers and there are not even half the changes that are mentioned in this thread so I would keep your pants on... ohh and for all the people with the Safari 2 click on link problem related with DNS, there is a fix for that in this release...
I have one of these too by the way and it mounts just fine. I have seen problems with the Firelite not even starting or getting power. Normally if I restart or change ports on the firelite is somehow seems to fix it...i don't think this is a 10.3.6 problem...
Great news, hopefully this will fix many people's issues which were encountered when installing 10.3.6. I personally didn't experience any troubles, but an update is always nice to see regardless (when it works!)

March might be pushing it as it is. I'd expect to see a couple more revisions after 10.3.7 for Panther before we see a finished Tiger. Jobs promised Tiger in the first half of 2005 - that gives him until June 30 by my calendar to deliver. I'd expect Tiger later rather than sooner, March at the absolute earliest.
Well, I don't see any problem with getting a new update, but isn't it sorta soon? Don't get me wrong, I would rather have frequent updates than no updates (like M$). Oh well, being a switcher of nearly 1.5 years, i have yet to have a problem with and 10.x.x update. *crosses fingers*
Can they possibly add a reliable method of automounting remote volumes at login?? Yea, I know they can be added to the Startup items, but every system in my office has intermittent reliability with this method. The connections will work for some time and then suddenly stop.
This is incredibly frustrating considering that OS9 worked perfectly and now coming up on generation 4 of OSX we still do not have reliable automounting of servers. What gives Apple???
