“Apple on Tuesday afternoon began informing a select group of developers that it plans at least one more maintenance update to its Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger operating system ahead of October’s planned release of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard,” Slash Lane reports for AppleInsider.
“Since developers have yet to received the first pre-release seeds of the software update, details outside of the version numbering — Mac OS X 10.4.11 — are few and far between,” Lane reports.

Oh, all right: “This One Goes to 11.”
The day Microsoft makes something that doesn’t suck is the day they make a vacum.
Gotta love the fanatics who comment on an article about Apple fixing fuck-ups in their code by changing the subject to “Microsoft sucks”. Have some more Kool Aid douche bags.

At least Apple fixes their fsck ups. In the same vein, any news on Vista Service Pack 1?
That was funny… but doze would screw that up to. It would blow infected air out instead of sucking it in.
This “Mac Realist” is nothing of the sort.
Mac Realist, if you check out “my” posts, you’ll notice that I try to be realistic. I am a Mac user, but try to give my honest opinion without the usual fanboy drooling.
There is nothing “realistic” about your posts. Vista is a flop on any level. It’s an overly bloated pile of garbage.
You rants about Leopard’s delay for the sake of iPhone might be somewhat valid (I’m getting a little sick of All iPhone – All the Time) but the Developer’s Betas of 10.5 blow away the release versions of Vista. How far ahead do you figure Leopard will be when the final version is released?
I’m quite sure Leopard is going to run very well on ALL of my Macs, from my old (2003) 800 ibook, 1.42 iBooks, to my Intel Mini.
How many PCs over 2 years old will Vista run properly on???
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Just THINKING about 10.4.11 makes my TiVo snappier! Seriously.
I hear ya… and my car feels snappier too!
my snapper feels snappier.
Even Towelie feels snappier!
And where’s tha “next Tuesday there’s a meetin’ goin’ on” headline?
uh, i think that was his point. that it wouldn’t suck literally, but still sux figuratively…get it? wow, you’re slow…
Just asking since I’ve been unplugged a couple of days… there’s a Safari 3.0.3 update in Software update, and an iPhone 1.01 update in iTunes, are these new?
“Since developers have yet to received . . .”
What kind of weird ass subject-verb duchy did this keep caming from?
Future past perfect land?
I believe that’s what would be referred to on Red Dwarf as “Past Impossible Never Tense.”

Wanna get highhhhhh?
When you’re chunkin’ chairs, the sweat can get in your face. That’s why Towelie says, “Always keep an extra towel in your duffle bag.”
I just downloaded it and my microwave pop popcorn 50% faster, THANKS!!
They should’ve stopped at 10.4.9 and issued patches instead or called it 10.4.91. Bad move, but lesson learned, eh?
All I know is that I picked up my first Mac today and I’m in love. Got a shiny, new 15″ MacBook Pro. The computer itself is a work of art. OS X is beautiful. I can’t believe I let myself suffer with Windows and mediocre PCs for so many years. Talk about wasted time!
Seriously, folks, Apple deserves a look. Microsoft really let us down with Vista and we shouldn’t reward them for it.
Thanks NSFY and Davecc. I tried the reinstall then went brain dead and did the software update. Sheesh. Will try the OS reinstall again. I’m not a subscriber to MacFixit. Thanks again.
If anyone still thinks 10.4.11 is some sort of decimal number, what do they make of, say, 168.192.1.2 (IP quad)?
Cool…. I’m sticking with Tiger + UNO. Way better than “Vista” 10.5 (I envy the new unified UI though…)
Congratulations, Jeff Olsen! And welcome!
as of now, we are still running XP at my place of employment, with traces of 2000, and even 98 still lingering… no word on Vista even hitting our mains, as it would require COMPLETE overhaul of thousands of terminals. Yes, I still get calls on fixes daily, and yes, I still come home to 4 macs running either Tiger or Panther just fine. Life is good. Jeff, Welcome to Macdom! Please ask if you have any questions, as we all work and play together!
Mac OS X 10.4.11?
Thank the good Lord above. 10.4.10 is possibly one of the worst system updates since Mac OS 9.1. For 3 minutes and 12 seconds, I actually looked through the PC ads at Best Buy. I’m over it now, but it was close.
