Yeah, but then you gotta look at the other side of the fence. I mean, look at Longhorn. How long has it been in development? How much longer is it taking? I dunno about you, but I certainly wish it was finished and out right now. It's all relative, I suppose. No happy medium here.

Longhorn has been in development for a LONG time because MS said that it would.

We all wish software was finished as soon as we see the juicy previews but the fact is these things take time. Now if MS kept pushing back dates ok but they only just the other week anounced a rough date of mid 2007. Longhorn is not simply another release of Windows its a complete overhaul that MS has stated wont be released until its finished no matter how long it takes.

correct me if Im wrong but didnt Apple also copyright Lynx, Cougar and Leopard aswell as Tiger and therefore does not conclude 10.4 will be named Tiger. Can I also ask whats stupid about the name 'Tiger' that isnt stupid about 'Panther' or 'Jaguar' I mean looking at thier copyrights its better than Leopard :P

Myself I would of gone with Cougar...

Lol, no, though I *am* from NJ and I know where White Plains is.

I'm a freshman in college now... orange and black = Princeton.

Who cares about the name...

Do you care about the wrapping paper when you rip it off your giftes.... I hope not, if you do you have problems.

[Off Topic]Holy ****, I live very close to WP and I know who they are (Our hockey team beat them. I also know that San Fernando High School in SoCal has a tiger as their mascot (only cuz that's where my mom went)[/OT]

On a side note, wrapping paper is for nerds, I throw mine away as soon as I've opened my presents.

My high school mascot was a Wildcat (whoopee. :mellow: ). And so was it in Middle School (Purple and Gold), and when I was in 3-5 grade (Blue and Gold, that's when I moved to Misery), before I was a Road Runner (Green and White). My schools always had a terrible mascot.

The other-thread-that-we-shall-not-discuss-about thread had soooooo many other good names than "Tiger". Tiger is really generic, even though its a cat, but still, its too generic.

Mmm. Free OS.

I hope it will be free, as I am not going to fork out AU$249 (approx) to upgrade to 10.4 when it comes out (as my iBook will be newish when 10.4 comes out).

Hehe, the few "BULLSH*T! I'll believe it when it comes from Apple!" posts were funny. (*Cough* Check the developers section with information on "Steve Jobs to preview Mac OS X Tiger" ;))

I doubt they'll change the "look" of Tiger from Panther, and if they do they'll only enhance it (animated widget roll-overs? Or other eye-candy). After all 10.0-10.2, that's three "major releases", had the same look (well near enough).

I can't wait for the WWDC Keynote, me and a mate are going to watch it feed live (come on, they're so going to do it live..!) and scream about Tiger. So excited..! :lol:

And a note; Tiger, and another other major update, will be free to anyone who has "Proof of Purchase" coupons (I got a sheet with three on with my eMac (mwahaha, that means I get free OS X updates until 10.6!), do you get them with Panther retail box?). (Note: That isn't a rumour, read your coupon-sheet, it tells you that.)
