I'd like to congratulate Apple for finishing Tiger ahead of schedule (April instead of say June). So, I now expect updated iMac's, eMac's and iBooks' too.
Got a tip for us?

Be it real? I don't know, but it looks very Apple-like. Unfortunately, the video seems to be cut off about halfway through, but you still get the little techno beat for the full length of the file
Awesome (ctrl+click; download).
Awesome
I would be suprised if that wasn't it. It looks very real, and is very consistent with the previous welcome videos. I wonder what happens after this video cuts out. Probably just takes you through the registration process.

You think it's un-Apple like? Well, you'll be disappointed when (or if) you install Tiger...
The reason it would be cut off like that is because the audio continues to play while you set up the system, just like the previous releases.

I may be wrong, but I think it's supposed to be like that. The video stops, and the setup wizard thing pops-up and let's you enter your name and stuff while the music is still playing.
What's your point? Obviously it's easier (and better, I think) to have a controlled hardware platform to release software on, especially an OS. Backward software compatibility and support for a generic hardware spec with a zillion vendors is, by its very nature, what makes the PC platform crap. It's a problem for Intel/MS that can't be overcome; end game. If you want the cheapest game in town, you buy a Windows PC. If you want quality, stability, style and innovation, you buy Apple. It's really not much different than buying a car or a home entertainment system: you get what you pay for (most of the time).terrorbite said:

They didnt say they will release Tiger in July or June. They said only 1st half of 2005, which could be even January!
I know that they're working on time and space travel (hm, I shouldn't say that, being under NDA and all...
) but a January release date is somewhat impossible right now .-Chase

Exactly, right now--and only because the time travel machine is not fully operational yet.

They should be announcing it in 2007, but it's not expected to ship until 2008 due to "unexpected demand."
Ok, enough of that "crazy" talk. Yeah, Tiger's going to be awesome. I'd say finally, but really, they've met their timeline. Go Apple!

Windows doesn't have to wait for 64-bit - true 64-bit today
But on the other hand, real 64-bit (that is, 64-bit with 64-bit GUI apps) will be out with XP 64-bit about the same time that 10.4 actually ships.
Don't forget that Windows 64-bit has been shipping for a couple of years.... Apple is the "follower" on 64-bit, not the leader.

And, Aiden, I'm sure that you'll agree that 64-bit, for most applications, doesn't mean squat. So, other than trying to do your usual backhanded MS promotion, what's your point? You might as well put a sticky thread up with the countless posts you've produced on this subject. A huge majority of Mac users need a complete 64-bit version of OS X about as much as the huge majority of Windows users need 64-bit Windows. If you're not playing in server land, HPC applications or high-end video processing, 64-bits means nothing (or a close approximation). Just put a post together with all your previous links and spare us, please. BTW, I'm *really* sick of you calling Windows 64-bit "shipping for a couple of years" and in the same post say "real 64-bit (that is, 64-bit with 64-bit GUI apps) will be out with XP 64-bit about the same time that 10.4 actually ships". Which is it? What, cat got your tongue?AidenShaw said:
VicMacs said:can we talk about Mac OS X 10.5 aka LION
Lion sounds too much like lyin'(g). The press will make hay with it.
I'd bet on Leo (latin) or Simba (swahili). Maybe even Sabertooth.
Maybe Samba will run better on Simba. Maybe Bluetooth will work better on Sabertooth.

Agree 100%.

Since Mac fans usually decry the proponents of "myths" - I'm simply trying to help people to avoid buying into the "64-bit myth".
I want to help them avoid being trapped by the allure of the adverts that have "64-bit" in 172 point font - whether they're from Apple, AMD, Intel, IBM or some unknown white-box vendor.
Those of us who need 64-bit already have it.... The sheep who will open their checkbook/credit-card for 64-bit from Apple/Intel/AMD are the people that I hope to enlighten!
There's also the fact that x64 on Windows supports most Windows APIs, whereas 64-bit on 10.4 is emphatically a sedond class citizen. Cocoa and Carbon are 32-bit only - what more needs to be said?
There is one thing that is absolutely, positively, unequivocally consistent in the PC business:
Whenever Apple does something exciting, the Haters come out in record numbers to spread their trite hater comments.
For the Mac mini, it was the GPU, even though low cost PC's don't even have a GPU with dedicated memory.
For the iPod, it was a lack of FM radio, even though everyone knows radio sucks now due to corporate interests.
It looks like for Tiger it will be whether or not it is a true 64 bit operating system.
It's just sad. The PC world is so stale and boring due to the MS-Intel-Dell oligopoly that the community has to look over the fence at all the cool things going on in Apple land and spew silly faults since they themselves have nothing to celebrate.
For God's sake, the best thing from MS since 2001 was SP2 which made it easy to turn on the firewall and put a whole bunch of security nags in the system. (It isn't any more secure since it was hacked before the GM hit the stores.)
It's like a loser living in an apartment building whose apartment is next to the suite that throws all of the wild, crazy parties. All they can do is bash them and call the cops.
Just sad.
