More Panther GM and Launch Info

I find this to be interesting news, IF in fact it is true. Since I questioned the reliability of these Panther GM reports ever since they started appearing, I'm not confident that this is true either. It does mean that Panther's release date might be announced soon, which to me is GREAT news. All the earlier I can get a G5 w/ Panther!

yep,

hard to say if it's true... or just the same info making the rounds..

we'll see.

maybe it will be a launch for the windows version of itunes. apple will hype that way more than panther.

I wonder if we'll see another version of 10.2.8 or not. Panther seems pretty close now.

Let's hope this means Panther is announced soon, I can't wait personally to get my hands on a copy.

Well I hope panther is announced soon for purchase and such. I am a current ADC member and we have yet to be seeded with these new builds.. I know i'll get it for free but im still willing to pay for it to support apple.. well I hope these are true and shortly the new builds are seeded to ADC members, Panther is great... unsanity and iconfactory are already working to have their great applications work inconjunction with panther...

Can student ADC members download beta seeds too? I couldn't find them on their site when I logged in.

No, I'm pretty sure that Student ADC members are blocked from OS seedings.

If it's not listed in your Software Downloads, you don't have access to it. But hey, you still get releases for free.

Even if Panther is released, they will still issue an update to 10.2 to fix the security issues in OpenSSH and Sendmail that 10.2.8 addressed, plus the new OpenSSL vulnerability discovered this week. It's standard practice for Apple to provide such maintenance updates to no-longer-current revisions of the OS.

Having the store mangers "out of town" on 10-24/25 is not good news. How would someone find this out anyway?

I just want Panther now. :)
