According to Think Secret the new build of panther was seeded to developers on friday. Updates:

Quote:

kernel version updated to 7.9.0, improved Directory Services performance, optimized AFP enumeration performance, video driver fixes, fixes to automounter volume mounting and re-mounting, fax and modem driver fixes, Java garbage collection optimization, fixes to a bug that corrupted copying data to a FAT-formatted drive, improved modem and airfones compatibility, more root certificates added, wake from sleep performance improvements, and a USB 2.0 hard drive mounting compatibility fix.

Maybe the Mini's video drivers will be improved with this update.

For the benefit of a newbie, what's Apple's policy on major updates? Will I have to pay to go from Panther to Tiger? My Mac is much less than a year old.

Thanks.

yes youll have to pay, its free from 10.3.x to 10.3.x, but 10.3.x to 10.4 costs 129$

So what's the forums thoughts on OSX 10.4's value for money.

I mean 10.3 was much better than 10.2 but it wasn't that long ago, Is it going to be worth buying a tiger if you've already got a panther.

Another thought, what do you think the next one will be called ? leopard? Pussycat ?

See, heres my thought, OS X, just had that dumb orange 9, X had the AQUA, way better, but still weak, 10.2 had that totally PIMP leapord skin (i must admint, it's my buddy icon on ichat!) But then came Panther... BRESHED STEEL! but then whats tiger got... zoomed in brushed steel??? thats weak, apples loosing in (OS wise) so i think tiger is it for OS X, next up...

WSHC OS (Windows_sukz_hard_core OS) and it's logo, a burning four coloured flag, on a t-shirt, being worn by a little elf! but thats just my idea
