Panther, Mac OS X 10.3 Discussions (merged)

[PowerMacX]

Has anyone heard any rumors about it? Apple releases a new 10.x usually every 8 months...

10.1 'Summer 2001'
10.2 'Summer 2002'
10.3?

There were some rumours on powerpage.org that 10.3 would appear in June already. We'll certainly know more after WWDC has started in May 2003.

Yup, it will be here late summer of 2003, September 22 or earlier

It would be nice if Apple includes Ilife in it... rather than shelling out $49 dollars for it.

If you look at the pattern you may have to "pay" for ALL of it.

49$ buys you iDVD. There's no reason why Apple should include it in Panther. You get it for free if you buy a new Mac, you can stay with iDVD 2 that you got with yours or you pay 49$, which isn't really MUCH for such a great creativity & production tool. iMovie is a download, iTunes is a download, iPhoto is a download - and as with Jaguar, you'll probably get them along with the other free iApps on the Applications CD.

I would still like Ilife incorporated as part of the natural 10.3 panther OS... Rather than have 4 seprate icons... or pay the 49$ to merge them into one single program. I am not asking for too much.

But... as an owner of OS X 10.0, I marched into CompUSA and was handed a copy of the 10.1 update for free. They didn't even want to see an update coupon or anything. I hope (though don't expect) that's the case with 10.3.
