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."

    FYI Pismo has two expansion bays also, as I type from my dual battery Pismo.

    X windows, native & fast PDF support, X code ... are going to cost

    You can run X Windows programs on any version of OS X. I do it under 10.1.5. That's right, I don't even have Jaguar. The native PDF support is also in every version of OS X. It got faster with 10.3, but it's plenty fast already. The only feature that you listed that's missing is XCode. So you have to deal with Project Builder for a while, is it really that big of a deal? If so, isn't it worth the $130 for the upgrade? I mean, you want the new development environment right? If you are going to be making money developing, then $130 is peanuts. If not, what's wrong with Project Builder?
