I expect it to be the Big Announcement at MWSF05, but not to be available for purchase until some weeks afterward. SOP for other past releases.
Again?
I cannot imagine there will be so many new features that Apple will roll-out and charge $129 for yet another OS upgrade when there are so many people still using Jaguar and Panther is less then a year old. I HOPE that they will hold onto it (and polish it) until FY2005.
WWDC Revelation; 2005 Rollout
I think the key to remember is that this is a developers' conference. Revealing the structure and features of Tiger makes a lot of sense when looking at a 2005 Q1 (@ earliest!) release of the product. This will give the developers plenty of time to create/alter their products to take advantage of things to come. It also gives the rest of us something to drool about and work ourselves into quite a frenzy over by the time it's ready for release, thereby guaranteeing Apple lots of sales right out of the gates! I'd like to hear from the rest of you: "What features would you like to see?" A couple things I can think of include:
Given time, I could probably think of a few more things, but those are the items I deal with the most of late.

Fix the bugs and tweak features first.

"5) iCal internationlition: "week starts at" -days fixed (in Finland we start our weeks from Monday, but iCal starts from Sunday, even if Finnish dates & stuff is selected."

agh. and of course, I forgot the -real- most important feature: Home-on-iPod. This would be really something, and it would be really great if it could work with -any- portable harddisk, FireWire -and- USB.

What I'd love to see is some method of filesharing from the finder that is encrypted, so: 1. Secure (SSL) WebDAV drive that could be finder-mounted. 2. SSH/SCP finder-mountable drive. 3. Some addition to AFS, CIFS, or NFS that would allow an encrypted mounting of the drive. Special bonus: If any of these could be locally cached for offline file access when no network connection is available.

I would like to see SOCKS proxy support for Mail and other OS X applications.
Fall Release
The last several releases have been previewed at WWDC and released in the Fall. Now, usually WWDC is in May -- not the end of June. So, who knows. I would love it if Apple stuck to a once-a-year release. I think that it really moves the platform forward. OS X is booking along.
Fall Release
I agree with you, but I don't have to pay $129 for my updates. I get a fat discount as a University student, and the annual update price is much easier for me to swallow. |
