Apple announces Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) release date

Get ready, Mac fans, Apple is cranking out their latest major update to Mac OS X, codename Tiger. As with all major updates, there will probably be some need to upgrade your applications if/when you decide to upgrade to 10.4.

I will probably be holding onto 10.3 (Panther) for a while since I am not sure my older G4/450 can deal with the processing needs of the new software.

Special reports from all the great Mac sites are sure to be forthcoming, so keep your eyes and ears open.

Tiger release date announced

Apple has announced a release date for Tiger.

Mac OS X v10.4 “Tiger” will go on sale Friday, April 29, at 6:00 p.m. during special events at Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. Tiger has more than 200 new features and innovations including Spotlight, a revolutionary desktop search technology that lets users instantly find anything stored on their Mac, including documents, emails, contacts and images; and Dashboard, a new way to quickly access important information like weather forecasts and stock quotes, using a dazzling new class of applications called widgets.
