10.4.3

It will be released any second now. Appleinsider and the other sites say so. Of course, it seems like they've been saying this for the past 3 months, but that's not the point.
Oh, and its not going to get rid of the spinning beach ball. Its unrealistic to think Apple will spend time to do anything like fix all the problems with their OS. They've got new useless features to be passing along.
That ball will be with us for life.

10.4.3 & New Iron

From what I've been reading in the rumor mills, 10.4.3 has code added specifically for new hardware. I'd guess that it's released along with new PowerBooks, PowerMacs and XServes. Supposedly there will be a massive number of bug fixes and performance improvements included w/10.4.3.
I'll just be happy to get a new PowerBook!

Wow, Apple certainly are busy. Hopefully this will be to announce the merger with ElGato adn the release of a Mac Mini with multiple digital tuner cards and FrontRow for TV. Or just another release of iTunes to support hires photos. They're not going to hold a press release for a point.point release (or are they... stock always seems to go up after a release !)

...the next Powerbook to include a rubber chicken, a caesium time standard and a trampoline!!! When will people grok that a computer is still a computer and a Mac is a Mac and if you want it do EVERYTHING, it will become the Micro$oft Word of hardware, feature rich where nothing works properly!!!!!
