We don’t know the final release date of the final version of Mac OS X Tiger, but “the likelihood is quite high [that it was March 13, 2007] given Apple’s Mac OS X release history as charted here and no prior Mac OS X update has had a version number higher than 10.x.9. It’s easy to observe that the last update to a current Mac OS X version has been released prior to the release of a new version. Also [we] observe that the gap between the last revision of a current and new operating system has shrunk for the past three Mac OS X releases. If Leopard were to follow the same number of days between Panther and Tiger then Leopard would be released on March 27, 14 days after Tiger 10.4.9. I don’t have any confidence in such an early release date,” Switch To A Mac writes.
STAM analyzes much history and evidence and concludes the best guess release date for The OS That Will Replace Mac OS X Tiger as the World’s Most Advanced Operating System” will be on Friday, May 11, 2007.
Evidence, rationale and much more here.
I’m just here to stare at the Sexy Single blonde in her panties. It makes all of this crap worthwhile. I don’t have a life.

I wish they had a real release date, or even month, so that I know how long I have to go before the BIG switch.
Anybody notice how for the UK/US apple sites it says leopard is coming Spring 2007, while for the AU site it says mid-2007? Any way we can factor this into the big complicated equations that are really just people pulling dates out of their behind?
