Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Preview at WWDC
hype7 writes "Apple just announced that it will kick off WWDC 2004 with a preview of the next iteration of Apple's operating system, Mac OS X, in a Steve Jobs keynote. This version of Mac OS X, 10.4, has been code named 'Tiger.' As usual, Apple is being incredibly tight lipped about what's going to be added; there hasn't even been that much speculation of new features on the rumor sites. WWDC is scheduled to begin on the 28th of June."
How much did XP service pack 1 cost?
How much is XP service pack 2 going to cost?
You had to pay to be a beta tester for 10.0. Even hard core zealots admit it wasnt ready for release. You then had to pay for service pack 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3.
I dont think thats anything to brag about, and I have a mac.
Is that why we had to move from 10.2 to 10.3 (and hence pay money) to get a half way working Safari?
Yes, the upgraded Safari was free, they just made sure it would not run on 10.2.
Safari is still buggy as hell when it comes to Java and Liveconnect. No doubt they will fix some of this in the next version to `encourage' us to pay for 10.4.
This is Apple we are talking about here. They started the `trivial patents and lots of lawyers' model of IT business currently being applied by SCO. They are masters of the closed-box and proprietary protocol model of trapping users. Nice kit, and pretty graphics, but don't trust the bastards as far as you could spit an iMac.

That'd be the most appropriate one - it wraps lines without asking you, it has a simple interface that makes the most common tasks easy but less common tasks (that I use all the time) impossible, etc. :)
That's because they've learned that if they report any rumor that is even close to true, Apple will smack them with a cease-and-desist.
