315.9 MB

I hope this release will be the most stable version of Tiger on our homebuilt macs.

It would be perfect if we avoid a nightmare with tons of litle scattered updates.

K....now for the AMD update...

Cool, new kernel?

Yes, new kernel

uname -a

Darwin machine.local 8.8.5 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.5: Wed Dec 13 06:44:35 PST 2006; root:xnu-792.16.5~4/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

The last update before leopard

The last update before leopard

What about 10.4.10 and 10.4.11

What about 10.4.10 and 10.4.11

Or 10.4.9.1.1.1

10.4.9.1.1.2 and so on

I hope its the last but we dont know...

What about the kernel sources? Anybody knows if they will be released?

Just see this on digg, i've hardly got 10.4.8 running I broke it last night

Or 10.4.9.1.1.1

10.4.9.1.1.2 and so on

I hope its the last but we dont know...

That will never happen. Steve Jobs will stick with 10.4.x

Oh dear. So quick.

It's clear why they did this. Not because the "fixes" are so important but to annoy the hackers. A new upgrade with a new kernel. Sure rub it in our face... they wanna hack the hackers.

Apple is really starting to {censored} me off. And adobe just the same. I mean come on... we all know that Photoshop works pefectly well on previous OS 10.4.x versions, so why shoehorn the bloody thing on 10.4.8. Sure they hoped that 10.4.8 with the 8.8.1 kernel would discourage the hackers (which alas didn't happen). But it took far longer to get the bloody thing running on our Hacks, and thy know it. No doubt it'll be harder.

I think I'm gonna ditch OSX altogether. I knew Steve Jobs is more awfull then Bill gates but this is ludicrous.

-Just release the bloody thing for (assorted) general PC's and be gone with it.

We stated over and over agian that we are willing to buy this OS BUT with the hardware of OUR choice not that crappy, badly assembled {censored} from Apple. So if Apple-ppl were really smart they'd input the expertise from the hackintosh community to improve the product for general PC's. But no.... let's make yet another kernel with some "suposedly" important upgrades to the USb modem that nobody ever uses anymore.

Yeah Right... credibility 0!

They made the OS 'free'(i mean that it could run on other non-apple machines) once, when Jobs was kicked out. Then everybody started to buy those ugly 'clones', the first thing that Jobs did when he came back to Apple was to glue the OS back to the real macs. And that is good too, when wou want a stable computer and the factory can garanty you that it works, buy a mac, if you want a uglier, more crappy computer with virusses and stuff, buy a dell or whatever with windows on it! And macs aren't overpriced (specially the mac pro's: they cost less than a dell with the same configuration!), you get a wonderfull design and other things, the prices on the site are for a complete pc, not for just a ugly thing without a screen/keyboard en stuff...

Lol, great! a new update to make us pull our hair out trying to get it to work.

No hair pulling here,

Maybe when it's released on Software Update, but until then, it's only a beta.

Nice one with the update.

Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I am wondering abaout the soon release date.

So Leopard won't be far away in time.

Cheers

Come on, what is this? This is the first time I've heard people complaining about Apple updating frequently (and this update is for 2007, it's only beta now). And if you beleive the only improvements are for the USB Modem, then why update at all? You don't need to, y'know.

I thought one of the reasons people were hacking OSX was because they thought it was fun (or at least rewarding, a challenge to overcome), and just not because they wanted to run OSX on their hackintoshes.

Either way, the 10.4.9 update isn't here yet (for consumers), and it's probably not critical. Stop whining.

im with you bro.... stop whinning and go back to windows if you dont feel good with this... AND Apple isnt gonna sell their OS alone never, because they are Hardware vendors primarly.

Apple isn't forcing anyone to "update". Its not like your computer or software will stop working UNLESS your upgrade immediately.

If your 10.4.8. system works fine, let the early adopters sort out the problems, and upgrade when the various issues that come with it are sorted out.
