Chris Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Apple Computer's next-generation operating system, Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, is now complete, AppleInsider has learned.According to sources, Apple earlier today declared build 8A428 of Tiger 'gold master,' the final development stage. Companies typically release the 'GM' candidate to manufacturing for duplication and packaging. Earlier this week, Apple release a "FC" (final candidate) build to developers and other partners to test the operating system for any last minute "show-stoppers." The build reportedly still had a few outstanding issues, but those were not expected to delay Tiger's release. They are expected to be fixed in the next free (downloadable) update to the operating system. Sources expect Apple to announce the completion of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger as early as tomorrow, April 1st. Some retailers, including Amazon, which is offering a $35 mail-in rebate, have already begun taking pre-orders of Mac OS X Tiger, indicating that they expect to ship the product within 30 days.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
