New Tiger Server (8A325) Seeded

Both AppleInsider and Think Secret report that Apple has seeded a new developer's pre-release build of OS X 10.4 Tiger Server (8A325). In light of the recent legal filings against developer builds being released into the wild, Apple has included the following note in bold red:

"PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE IS APPLE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. YOUR UNAUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTION OF PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE OR DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION RELATING TO PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE (INCLUDING THE POSTING OF SCREEN SHOTS) MAY SUBJECT YOU TO BOTH CIVIL AND CRIMINAL LIABILITY AND RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF YOUR ADC MEMBERSHIP."

So is Tiger Server coming out same time as Tiger OS?
I hope it is alittle better than the last server OS. One of my friends who is in IT wasn't impressed with the last version.

Yowza! :eek:

I guess they really mean bizness now. Makes you wonder what's new and gooy in Tiger to have Apple in such an uproar. Hmm, just wish I had a dev machine to install it on atm. :(

Curses Steve! Where's my dual 3Ghz machine! :D

No doubt every so called Mac rumour site at this point is wondering how long it will be before they are named as accessories to a crime by releasing news of a new application which is only normally available to people who have registered themselves as developers and signed a NDA to become so.

What is, in fact, happening every time a "story" like this is published is a thousand people suddlenly log into their torrents site and start downloading the new build.

So the fact that I pay over a $1000 a year to recieve these builds directly from Apple makes me a little pissed off when people are getting this stuff for free.

Just can't wait for Tiger. I thought they add such release notes to every dev release? Well, whatever... We'll finally see it in exactly no time so no need to hush and get a dev release.

Feel the same about music downloads? I pay alot through ITMS, but still many of my friends still download the same songs illegally...
No offence intended, but it should make you feel good that you deservedly get the Tiger builds. You shouldn't care about the illegal downloads.

Welcome to the world of piracy!!!!!

I really can't blame Apple for being so defensive about it's products. It really sucks but they do have a business to run and protect afterall. I guess they're still sore over the whole Microsoft thing. Once bitten, twice shy as they say.

The best thing is, none of these people are actually developers... they're all halfassed users that don't know what they're doing, then come and complain about damage the OS caused, and ask how to uninstall it. I'll offer help on any topic that comes up, except idiots that get pre-releases and then come crying back because they don't work right. How stupid can you be.

i'm glad apple is tightening the screws. if they want to stay ahead of the competition, they have to protect their development. God only knows how many of those torrent downloads are by MS engineers...

Don't fret too much over it. Your friends will burn in Hell and you will go to Heaven.

The next thing you know, the rumor sites won't even be able to comment on the fact that a new build has been seeded . . . Then you get sued for even divulging "top secret" information saying that Apple has made changes to its beta Apple OS, then the next thing you know, you can't even say the word tiger, becuase apple has it written in their NDA. . . . :rolleyes:
