Re: this is getting redundant, isnt it?

On my Lombard, OS 8.6 works better than 9.0.4, 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 I'm very happy with 8.6 and the FREE Panther (Tiger will be soon installed from the same source). I made some changes on 8.6 with ResEdit and it looks a little different (replaced the Keyboard flags, the StartUp Screen the

I watched the recording of Jobs in San Francisco. As far as I'm concerned, Tiger wasn't originally planned to even be mentioned until late next year. What was most likely planned was for Steve to introduce the new iMac G5 line. . which everyone knows Apple dropped the ball on. The more I thin

YES, because Apple says that OS X "supports" the PowerBook G3. They lie because they are interested on selling only. If they have the right to lie, I have the rigth to install Apple Software for free. Also, I have a similar problem with my Sony Spressa Plus Burner (USB Plus supported on OS 9 ONLY,

This is precisely why, actually. Steve Jobs said that MacOS X would 'last us' through the decade at least, which is why it has been 10.x.x for 5 years now. Another way to look at it is this: MacOS x.y.z x - Major Version Number - Represents a whole new core for the OS. y - Minor Version Number -

It's called "residual revenue". Apple, like any company that is only going to sell you a major product every few years, needs to insure that they can make money on a regular basis. It's the same reason Microsoft updates Office every 2 years and makes just enough changes that if one person in you

Re: this is getting redundant, isnt it?

I don't think Apple has made any official statements on the cost of Tiger but it is a safe bet that the only people who get it for free are those who buy a new Mac just before Tiger is released. The past two upgrades have been $129 and Tiger's 150 new features will probably cost us another $12
