Macworld asks: Do Tiger updates go up to 11?

Excellent idea, Adam - I like the hexadecimal plan! Others have pointed out that double-digit revision numbers might break some scripts or macros, I wonder if they'd handle letters instead of numbers without problems? My guess is they would, but my guess is that Apple would never even consider releasing a 10.4.10 or a 10.4.A or anything after a 10.4.9.

March 27th along w/Adobe release. Just watch =)

OS 11 Anyone?
I recall hearing last year that 10.5 will usher in features to build into OS 11. I really wonder what that'll be like? 9 to 10 was CRAZY... What more can we see in OS 11... Wait. Multitouch.
That and... Powerbook G5s. With Multitouch. With Drives on the bottom. Flash based. Available in black. With Internet Explorer as the default browser.

I'm pretty confident we'll see Leopard released for NAB based on what I've been told by a friend working on the new FCP release. NAB starts the 14th of April, pretty close to the CS3 announcement and before WWDC. This would be consistant with the last release of FCP requiring the upgrade to Tiger.

On a side note, look for silicon color's final touch color grading system to be integrated into FCP and 8 core MP's to complete the package.

RE #4:
I don't think it would hurt adobe that much. Apple works with major software developers closely and adobe would have access to code and all that jazz ahead of time. Maybe we can get it all at once at NAB in Vegas. And maybe Adobe is waiting for a Leopard release. Is CS3 due on the 27th, or is it just being officially announced then?

CORRECTION: It was 5.5 months between 104.8 and 10.4.9

I love how the uncommonly long 6-7 month timeframe between the 10.4.8 and 10.4.9 updates were not mentioned in the article.

It's quite obvious that Apple plans to release no more updates to Tiger. Security updates not withstanding.

Retarded. Of course it can go up to 10.4.10 or 10.4.11, the period is simply a separator. If they had to stop at 10, why would we even have Mac OS 10.anything, it would have to be 1.0.anything...

I predict that Leopard will be released at the same time as Adobe CS3.

this theory surfaced with 10.3.9

was there a 10.3.10? no...
