Day of the Tiger
Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger” is officially released today. (So if you’re going to read about on the BBC or The Register etc, you read it here first). Nope, I haven’t ordered a copy, nor am I overly excited about it, despite many a Apple Corp’s friendly “reminder” emails.
I mean sure Dashboard is wonderful and sweet, and Spotlight powerful and handy, but they just seem to lack that “killer app” quality that would make a starving student part with his beer money.
Of course, the burning question on everyone’s mind regarding this release must be “What is Apple going to call the next release of the Mac OS?”. Lion? Puma? Leopard? Lynx? (By the way, note to Apple Marketing Department: I’m not sure about between a panther and a jaguar, but surely a tiger runs slower than either of them?) Would it be Mac OS XI “Grizzly Bear” instead? Perhaps a more intriguing question would be “Would the next released be shipped before Longhorn?”
Anyway this is all too much for a Friday. Perhaps I do need a Tiger to cool down after all.
