Mac OS X 10.4: Tiger
According to MacMagazine.com.br (Portuguese), the upcoming Mac OS X update (10.4) will be known as "Tiger".
Apple has used similar feline names for previous versions of Mac OS X: 10.3 (Panther), 10.2 (Jaguar). In July, Apple registered a number of related trademarks: Lynx, Cougar, Leopard, and Tiger.
MacMagazine.com.br also reports that up until this point, 10.4 was known as "Merlot" internally. This is consistent with information available from MacRumors' sources.
Additional Info: Internal Build is at 8A85 with Safari v133

I think calling it Tiger is just a bad idea... Tigers are far to generic and... immature sounding, in my opinion

I just wanted to say that I predict within a year Paul Thurrott will say;
"It look's like Apple's operating system is more like Tigger than Tiger"
He's my hero :cool:
Also, that article claims Apple have got Safari upto v133 (in the A85 build of Tiger), compared to 125.1 that was included with 10.3.3

So the question is... will Tiger Woods sue Apple (a la Spike Lee and Spike TV)?? :D

Rumors at the present time seem pretty lame considering that this made the front page. Who really cares what cat name they use? How about some features in it or something exciting?

I would guess - $$$
Shame it didn't mention any new features...
Tiger - not very inventive. Panther was an excellent name for 10.3

Will this update, 10.4, cost users $$$ or is it free?

Sounds cool, they should have left tiger for 10.9 as the tiger is the toughest of all cats

I disagree, tigers are the largest cats there are (excluding cross breeds which can't have young). They're also considered by many people to be one of the most visually striking cats. I would rather have my OS named after a huge, solitary, and powerful stalker than a bobcat, lion, ocelot, or any of the other non domesticated cats.

It will almost certainly cost $129 for a single license just like the previous OSX releases
