Mac OS X Tiger Is Not Dead Yet

Apple's Mac OS has a pretty long story, and my intention is not to tell you stories now. What I will do is notice one obvious thing - usually, as a program/OS goes on and on, its version number increases. In Apple's case, the current Mac OS version is 10.5.2, but some rumors say they are going to get back to the old 10.4 version for one last time...


Apple is known to listen to its users' opinions more than other companies, but they are still far from perfect. Anyway, the problem with Mac OS X 10.5, usually known as "Leopard", is that some applications are still having compatibility problems, and a lot of professionals using such programs have chosen to stay with the older, but more reliable for their tasks, Mac OS X 10.4, nicknamed "Tiger".

The story goes like this - various sources that I wouldn't bet my life on their words claim that Mac OS X 10.4.12, probably the last update to Tiger, is almost ready. Its release seems to be scheduled for late March, but no other details about this are available for now.

Obviously, anyone could say that Mac OS X 10.4.12 will come with " a lot of bug fixes and security updates", but what about the rest of it? That, my friends, is what remains to be seen...
