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."

    I do not belive it.

    Programs generally do not get *that* much faster.
    It is the same for Apple as for Microsoft; do not
    expect a revolutionary faster OS. Remember that
    the time taken by the OS, in most cases is below
    1% of the total program execution time.

    I do not consider the GUI to be part of the OS.

    If I turn it around, do you think photoshop
    will be faster?

    If the system is not responsive I see it as a bug
    and not as a new feature. But *why* do I allways
    hear this arguing when a new version is comming.
    Why do I *never* hear it before.
