Yeah, I kinda thought that too when I first read it. Panther and Jaguar are less "mentioned" cats and therefore the names work for OS X versions, but Tiger seems too common. I read somewhere that Apple reserved the related trademarks Lynx, Cougar, and Leopard.

I don't like the cat-naming thing. I keep forgetting if I am running Panther or Jaguar. And Tiger is particularly dull. Nonetheless, it is just a name; Apple rocks.

But the real question - what's it going to be like? And when's it coming out? I just bought Panther a couple of months ago. Of course, I'll buy tiger too - even though these updates seem close together, Apple seems to make them worthwhile.

it'll probably come out next year...

the whole code-naming with big cats is kinda cool. seems to be a good marketing tactic. microsoft is codenaming their next big OS after a fat cow, apple's is a sleek, fast, lethal cat with fangs.

which operating system do you want?

OS X is a nice round number for an operating system. i'm sure they're going to use the "ten" for as long as they can. it has a better ring than OS11 or OSXI...

i just hope that steve doesn't use a corny tony the tiger "they're grrreeaat!" line in his keynote. :-)

^ Yeah, I'll second that one. If only I could afford one of those beautys.

I'll have one... someday

Just a question for you mac users. To an outsider (me) it seems these updates for OSX are very close together. Don't you mind shelling out the cash every time for an update to software you already own?

I'm not trying to be an ass here, it's a genuine question. One of the things really holding me back from mac's is the (apparent) increased software costs.

I waited through 10.0, purchased 10.1, and 10.2. I decided that 10.3 didn't have enough in it for me, so I'm still on 10.2. I'll wait and see on 10.4.

On the flip side, I purchased my iMac in 1999, and all I've done is upgrade the memory to the maximum. It runs 10.2 great. And every upgrade, so far, makes the system run faster and better. So, balance the not-having-to-upgrade-hardware costs with the software costs.

I'm with redlemon - my powerbook runs faster on 10.3 than it did on 10.2. That makes it worth the money when you look at all of the extra features they add. Not to mention, if you buy from the online apple store, there is a significant student discount. I got my copy of Panther for $70, instead of the normal $130 or whatever they charge.

10.2 was a big improvement over 10.1 and worth the purchase. 10.3 was also an improvement over 10.2 from fixing network connectivity bugs to new features. I'll shell out for 10.4.

As another poster said, my PowerBook has run faster with each rev of the OS. Can't really say that for Windows, can we?

I bought my PowerBook last year for $1700 from a local Angelino on eBay. It was used, but only once or twice. Had the AppleCare warranty as well. They were going for $2700 new. Best buy I've ever made. If you shop around you can get a deal, but watch out for eBay scams with PowerBooks.

Fair enough. Thanks for the replys (and not yelling for not using a mac :P )

That all makes sense. Like I said, one day I'll be a mac user. At least part time

At that time you will be greeted by us and a far more esoteric computing experience.

I only hope that with all these new revisions they stop breaking backwards capabilities. My games don't like OS revisions that much. =(

$100-$200 depending on the version (Home or Pro) for retail, and $50-$100 OEM.

redlemon has it right.... my powerbook is from early 1999... its a 333 mhz G3 with 320 mb of ram. It runs faster on 10.3 than on 9.2.2 which is what i upgraded from. I'd like to see any 333 laptop run Windows XP as well as mine runs panther. As far as the prices for the updates, i dont really see it necessary to upgrade every time, so you can save some cash there, and also if you can buy your software through educational discounts, go for it and save half. And finally a brief tidbit for everyone (especially Red vs Blue viewers), ive read some places that one of the early revisions of OS X was codenamed Puma.

Apple unveiled Tiger at WDC recently, along with a bevy of other ultra cool things... a 30" 4.1 million pixel LCD for example...

For Apple's Tiger, the keyword is search



By Ina Fried
CNET News.com
June 28, 2004, 4:53 PM PT

SAN FRANCISCO--Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs on Monday showed off Tiger, a new version of Mac OS X due next year that promises improved search capabilities.

At the company's Worldwide Developer Conference here, Jobs said the cat-themed operating system is being shown off fairly early in its development cycle, but said it will ship in the first half of 2005--more than a year before Microsoft's next major release of Windows is expected to arrive.

"We have leaped ahead of our competition and Apple is once again the innovator," Jobs said. "Everyone else is following our tail lights."




In particular, Jobs pointed to Spotlight--a new systemwide search engine that will allow Mac users to quickly search and find any file--whether it's an e-mail, an application file or a contact entry.

The technology borrows from the search engine used in iTunes, but is able to pore through the contents and hidden data of many types of files.

"It finds stuff that you would never be able to find by hand," he said.

Tiger will sell for $129 when it is released next year and will be officially known as Mac OS X version 10.4 Tiger.

Jobs also showed off several more of the 150 or so features Tiger will add, including a new "Dashboard" to manage small applications, a revamped scripting language called "Automator" and improvements to the iChat AV video conferencing and instant-messaging program.

The update to iChat will let Mac users have an audio conference with up to 10 participants and a video session with up to three other people.

The Dashboard feature is similar in some respects to a feature Microsoft has previewed in Longhorn and is also reminiscent of the desk accessory programs that were part of the early Mac OS. The feature brings up several small programs with a single click, including things like sticky notes, an iTunes remote or a Web camera. Like the Exposé feature that's part of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, the Dashboard appears and disappears with a single keystroke.

Some Mac fans also immediately noticed the resemblance of Dashboard to a third-party program called Konfabulator.

Jobs also introduced improved 20-inch and 23-inch monitors, as well as a new 30-inch LCD, all with new aluminum cases. The 30-inch flat-panel monitor will set buyers back more than $3,000, plus the cost of a high-end graphics card.

"It's definitely something to drool over for a while," said Nick Uchida, a software quality assurance engineer for Symantec, who admits he probably won't be in the market for one at home, nor is he likely to be outfitted with the display at work.

The monitor, with a 2560-by-1600-pixel resolution and a $3,299 price tag, is slated to ship in August. It will require a GeForce 6800 Ultra, a high-end video card that retails for $599.

While the 30-inch model will work only with Macs, Jobs also showed off updates to Apple's 20- and 23-inch displays that can also be used on Windows-based PCs. Sporting aluminum cases with built-in Firewire and USB ports, the monitors will ship in July and be priced at $1,299 and $1,999, respectively.

Though Jobs didn't talk about it, Apple also announced some details about a server version of Tiger as well as a new version of the company's Xcode developer tools. The server version of Tiger will feature a Weblog server as well as the ability to act as an iChat server allowing companies to keep their instant messaging conversations private. Apple plans to charge $499 for a 10-client license of Mac OS X Server and $999 for an unlimited-client version.

The Tiger incarnation of Mac OS X Server will also include the 1.0 version of Xgrid, Apple's clustering software, and broader support for 64-bit applications.

Several attendees said they had no problem with the fact that Tiger won't be released until next year, especially since developers here will get a software development kit to start working with the code.

Conference attendee Will Barton said he is actually pleased Apple is slowing its release cycle a bit, saying a new version each year is more than many companies can handle.

"It's been difficult to keep up with," said Barton, who is part of the loose-knit OpenDarwin effort, which tries to work with and improve Darwin, the open-source kernel at the core of Mac OS X.

Once you start using a Macintosh, you will quickly forget about your WinBlows machine ... I got my first mac in Feb. of this year and have not used my windows machine (thinking about giving it away or just smaching it). I have also found that using the macintosh promotes creativity (at least for me) and now am going to be going to school for interactive media design (all because of macintosh).
