Mac OS X Tiger Notes
The final build is confirmed to be 8A428, the same as that being distributed illegally in P2P circles. Of note, Apple's legal representation has sent cease and desist letters to at least one of the offending Bittorrent distribution sites.
"Apple also demands all information related to the identity of the persons who created such torrent files and/or who uploaded the software referenced by those torrent files, as well as the identities of all individuals who participated in the uploading and downloading of Apple's software."
The site in question, however, does not appear to be taking the threat seriously.
Regardless, legitimate copies of Mac OS X have been distributed to end users at this time. MacRumors' forums have undergone a reorganization and all Tiger discussion can take place in the consolidated Mac OS X Forum. Please post your questions and experiences there. As always, please do not post any information on illegal distribution of copyrighted software.

As previously reported Mac OS X Tiger has started shipping and the first users are posting their screenshots and experiences with the new version of Mac OS X.

Good it here some people are already getting their copies. To bad I have to wait until Friday.
Yeah, but It's gonna be awesome
debate, carry it on in this thread :) :cool:
What's more, on my PB 1.33GHz there is no real discernable speed-up, especially compared to Jaguar --> Panther and this is on a clean install.
Compulsory registration is also not nice...
Pretty please, with sugar on the top, if anyone wants to get in to the whole piracy and legality debate, carry it on in this thread :) :cool:
It's pretty difficult to do so in that thread. :)
Anyway, I really hope Tiger gets here by Friday, as I was thinking about picking it up at the store, but I decided to preorder it instead. I dunno if I'll be able to take another day of waiting. :)
The BitTorrent bug as almost bitten me a few times before, but I've resisted thus far.
5 more days to go.
Having received Tiger, I'm not that impressed - Finder has crashed a few times, all the elements in some Cocoa applications can be 'focussed' by pressing Tab repeatedly, but to no real effect as they cannot be manipulated and my Bluetooth headset no longer works. I've also yet to find a compelling use for Dashboard and Mail's new look is appallingly inconsistent.

Interesting, thanks for posting the feedback. It is reasons like this why I am holding back on purchasing Tiger right away. I'll let some of the issues and bugs present themselves and get fixed before I buy. And also, if the overall user experience is disappointing based on some reviews, that will make it easier to wait, as at the moment, I have no complaints whatsoever with Panther.
