This year's keynote will include a preview of “Tiger,” the next major release of Mac® OS X.

Apple Press Release

So when is Tiger going to be out? (that name is pretty bland, after Panther :rolleyes: )

Btw, the cost of attending this WWDC is $1595!!! Who can afford to attend at those prices? Has anybody attended any of these? Who paid?

So Tiger is the name

i thought we knew that tiger was the name for a while now?

anyhow- this is pretty cool. any word on what some of the new features are going to be?

Developers maybe ? After all, this is a developers conference, not for everyone. And you can deduct $300 off of that price if you register early before May 14.

This is big...But if they do announce it does that mean we have to pay again?

Only if you want to upgrade. If you are happy your Panther you don't have to upgrade. I know plenty of people who are still using Jaguar, and I will probably wait a couple of years before upgrading (Ocelot?, Cougar?).

I look at it like this, on Apple you can upgrade your OS yearly at $99 or so; on Windows, you can upgrade a every three years or so for $300. How often do people really upgrade their Windows OS. By the time the next release comes out, usually your whole computer is obsolete. Meanwhile, I upgraded to Panther on my G3 iMac and had a rather noticable speed increase.

ps. I noticed this release as well. It really should be on the front page of MacRumors. How do we tell Arn?

Thanks, I searched after I posted and found it. I gave credit to simply258 for orginally posting it. I signed up for the WWDC email list so I would stay updated on what was going to happen there.

I assume WWDC keynotes are streamed over the web just like the MacWorld keynote was.

I will order my copy immediately after the Apple Store reopens after WWDC. Maybe even a new G5, iPod, and Display. Even though i havent had mine 6 months yet.
