Mac OS X Tiger Accidentally Shipped Early

Posted by Zonk on from the ooops-hey-this-is-shiny dept.

boarder8925 writes "Engadget reports: 'In many places around the world, Mac fans and Apple distributors received a shipment they weren't quite expecting: Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger arrived at the door a full eight days ahead of schedule for some lucky folks who pre-ordered. Vendors PCMall/MacMall and ClubMac gave pre-order customers a treat by unleashing the OS ahead of schedule, quickly followed up by a 'recall' of the copies from PCMall.'"

    Lol.. That's pretty funny.. though that wasn't the point of my post. It wasn't "I agree with him, therefore mod him up".. It was "I agree with him, here's why".

    Come on, you know they shipped it early to avoid Microsoft stealing their thunder. Rumor has it they were going to announce Xbox 2 on April 28...
