According to sources, Apple earlier today declared build 8A428 of Tiger 'gold master,' the final development stage. Companies typically release the 'GM' candidate to manfuacturing for duplication and packaging.
Earlier this week, Apple release a "FC" (final candidate) build to developers and other partners to test the operating system for any last minute "showstoppers." The build reportedly still had a few outstanding issues, but those were not expected to delay Tiger's release. They are expected to be fixed in the next free (downloadable) update to the operating system.
Sources expect Apple to announce the completion of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger as early as tomorrow, April 1st. Some retailers, including Amazon, which is offering a $35 mail-in rebate, have already begun taking pre-orders of Mac OS X Tiger, indicating that they expect to thip the product within 30 days.
Mac OS X Tiger is expected to hit retail stores in the second half of April. In the past, Apple has held special launch events at its retail stores and other retailers have also joined with special events and festivities of their own.
Apple is also holding its Worldwide Developer Conference 2005 in San Francisco in June, where it will focus on the new features and development tools available with Mac OS X Tiger.
Apple has refused to comment about Mac OS X Tiger's release to manufacturing and the estimated date of shipment--except to say that it is due in the first half of 2005.
