Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" Goes Gold

Apple Mac OS X TigerAppleInsider is reporting that the latest build of Mac OS X "Tiger" has been classed as the gold master release, meaning that this build is ready to be distributed and released to the public.

Pre-order from Amazon and get $35 off.

Apple is not officially commenting on the news, only holding to their previous commitment of a release in the 2nd quarter, 2005. This latest build was only released a few days ago, so this sort time of testing on the latest build makes me a bit suspicious that this could be an April Fools Joke. I'm sure we're all hoping that it's true, the sneak peaks at Apple's website certainly look appealing.

Amazon is giving $35 off, and is taking pre-orders.

Apple has some great previews of what's to come in Tiger, it's worth looking at if you haven't already.

Read the AppleInsider article.
