Mac OS X Panther by Mid-October?
ComputerWorld's speculation appears to be based on developer feedback, but correlates with independent target expectations available to MacRumors that Panther should hit shelves in October.

Bring it on!!! :D
Anyone try Panther on an iBook? Jaguar runs decent on my G3 500 mhz, but it's still way slower than OS 9. I used 9 for the first time in a few months and couldn't get over how much faster everything was.
No biggee. I'll be shelling out for a G5 dualie soon. I just want to make sure I don't completely abandon my iBook, my baby.
I've still got my coupons though, just in case!

Panther feels significantly faster on my iBook 800 (640Mb RAM). Apps open faster, switching between apps is very fast and general UI responsivness is very good. Menu draw is very fast. Expose runs very well (Quartz Extreme is enabled). The new Preview is amazing. Any PDF opens in close to zero time and you can scroll smoothly through.
I have also noticed far better speed over SMB mounts (from a Windows machine).
All in all a great update!

I've used it on my G3 700 and it is very much faster, but possibly because of improvements to Quartz Extreme.
The GUI is the most improved, it's much more responsive etc, but that's because much of it is being pushed through QE where in 10.2 it wasn't. Your mileage on a non-QE iBook may vary.
i have absolutely no dout that panther will be worth the money (good marketing so far apple:)
about those speed-encreases - it sounds very good - hope to get some pepper for my ibook 800 (640mb ram) and mostly for my g4 dual 450 (1.75gb ram).
hmmm... dual 450 ... that sounds sooo old!!!
after purchasing panther a powermac g5 is next!
