Sabr Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 What? Why not 10.4.900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254 ? Oh wait... that would be copying Redmond... not the other way around... I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 It could have been 10.4." i " (without quotes) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPDM Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Damn, I just got 10.4.8 working an they release another update They just do that to annoy us, you know. To make it difficult for the hackers to keep up (and in the end to give up). As fot the naming: 10.4.10 makes perfect sense. The numbers are not decimals just version numbers so who cares anyway. At least it means that Tiger isn't obsolete (yet). which is great. Because I'm kinda fed-up with the increasing releases of new versions and stuff. Most things don't even work as they should and bam yet another version comes around. This happens both in software and hardware (especially hardware). So for my part they all oughta slow down a bit.

lord_muad_dib Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 10.4.10 is correct, cos' this update it's not a second release or a quick fix of 10.4.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMX-Knuckles Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 They say it would support new hardware of a refreshed line of iMacs and macbooks.Any hope Geforce 8 kexts might be in it? If Apple releases an iMac refresh soon, chances are fair it'll have an 8500 or 8600 to replace the 7600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neonkoala Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I wish they'd called it OS X 10.4.A then it would ahve followed hexadecimal numbering without leaving 1 digit . But 10.4.10 is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahbau Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I know it's already been established that it's 10.4.10, but I wanted to add a little tidbit. Anything other than 10.4.10 wouldn't have conformed to Apple's versioning guidelines. I can't find a reference to this online, but years ago I remember that in order to have the "Mac" logo on a piece of software, it has to meet certain requirements. Proper version numbering is one of them. This is something like "major.minor.update." So they can't update the middle number unless it has new features added (like 10.4 to 10.5), and there isn't a number after the third one, which is for minor updates. So it couldn't have been anything other than 10.4.10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandmanfvrga Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Like said above, it is NOT a decimal. 10.4.10 is fine and what it should be. Hell, we may seen 10.4.15 or more for a while till Leopard is the main standard. Going on about the "."s are stupid if you don't know what they mean. Some software have 5 or 6 in them. On topic now, that update touches everything from usb, firewire, ppp, to ethernet etc etc. What is this update? The true update for Tiger to live next to Leopard?

The true update for Tiger to live next to Leopard? precisely: if this is going to be the last tiger update it must be something that can last for a long time. take 10.3.9: it was the biggest panther update ever… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grav3Mind Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hmmm, 10.4.10 is a really bad name. As a decimal 10.4.10 = 10.4.1 It'll just get confusing, I think. They should make it a security update. Or they could call it 10.4.9 SP2.... Ill just let that one sting allllll by itself..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight F Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 How about naming it 10.4.good.buddy? Cause we gotta mighty convoy, rockin' through the night Yeah we gotta mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight? Con-voy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
