Mac OS X 10.4 (8A425) - Final Candidate?

The removal of the "Pre-Release" tag from the most recent seeds on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger has suggested that the upcoming Mac OS X revision has reached Final Candidate stage.

The most recent build is 8A425. Final candidates are considered to be complete/ready versions of software development. If no further issues are determined, the final candidate may be declared Gold Master -- which will be the shipping version of the product.

Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) is expected to ship in mid-April, with a rumored announcement this Friday (April 1).

Here we go. I can't wait. Some of the new features look pretty cool, and I'm holding off on a new Mac mini until this comes out. The sooner the better (unless it's not done, obviously. No need to rush a buggy OS to market, they're at least a year ahead of MS.).

There will be at least one more build before Tiger reaches Gold Master. But an April 1 announcement now seems possible.

This is great news, but now I'm going to have to decide whether or not I want a new iBook or new Powerbook (that is assuming the iBook gets a little help to meet the recommended specs of Tiger). Stupid battery life vs. power debate :(

$14 credit at the university bookstore AND the student discount? A brand new mac for $55? Sure, I'll take one.
