Well, it's good to see the last version of Tiger out the door. Now make room for Leopard at MWSF '07!! :D:D:D
Heh... No.
Wow, I was wrong (no surprise :)) I thought they weren't going to release another version. But They actually did it. I wonder when it's released to the public?
Most likely it'll be about a month till we see 10.4.9 in Software Update - so sometime after MWSF to allow any new hardware to speak to our current Macs.
...this where they break tiger so that we truly appreciate leopard.

Since the release date for Leopard is "spring", which could technically very well mean June actually, I expect at least a 10.4.10 after this, maybe even a last 10.4.11 around the time Leopard comes out.Didn't Panther get a last update after or around the time Tiger came out?

I would hope Apple could to math and realize their naming scheme would end at 4.9.

But the decimals are not used as a numbering system. Since the decimal is not a number it could go to 10.4.29 or higher, as the number 29 indicates 29 patches or fixes.(it certainly beats: OSX 10, Version 4, patch 9)
Why is this brought up so much?

after 10.3.9 comes 10.3.10 ...
If you didn't already get this, get it into your head that the point is NOT A DECIMAL POINT it's just a number separator, kind of like 10|3|9. There's no such thing as a number with two decimal points.
Please accept this and tell all your friends so that we don't have to go through this for every story of an OS or software update with version numbers approaching 10.
Edit: Ok, maybe I should have flipped over from page 2 to page 3 before pressing reply ... This seems to have been covered.
So ... why no release notes on differences just between 10.3.8 and 10.3.9?
Right, what Kresh said.
