Apple Sets Oct. 24th Release For Mac OS X 10.3

Posted by timothy on from the unadulterated-press-release dept.

dricci writes "Yahoo! has posted a press release from Apple, regarding the release date of the next major Mac OS X update, 10.3 ('Panther'). The update will be available 8:00 p.m. on October 24th at Apple Retail Stores and Authorized Resellers for $129.00 US (Family Pack for up to 5 users will be $199). Pretty much the same pricing structure they had for Jaguar. It looks like 'old world' Beige G3 support has been discontinued -- the update requires a Mac with built in USB."

    Hell even IBM doesn't charge for point releases to AIX, an arguably superior *nix. I guess this is the price you pay to be 'Different'.

    Parent may not have found the best way to say it, but s/he makes a valid point.

    The lack of a long term upgrade path with Apple means that if you want to remail loyal to the brand you will HAVE TO buy a new Apple.

    This is why my 6400/200 was the last new Apple machine I bought.

    The Beige G3s were the last Apple machines that I would have considered buying. Since they are no longer supported I guess I won't be buying Apple, I have no interest in Apple's current hardware.
