{mosimage}Today, Apple announced the release date of the upcoming update to Mac OS X, called Tiger.

The
next-generation of the Mac OS X operating system has more than 200 new
features and innovations including Dashboard, an updated iChat, a new
Automator workflow application, Safari with a built-in RSS reader and
Spotlight, Apple's new desktop search technology that lets users
instantly find anything stored on their Mac. "Mac OS X Tiger is the
most innovative and secure desktop operating system ever created," said
Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO.

Well, he would, wouldn't he
? Hehe, but I've seen a developer preview release and Tiger looks like
the goods. I've already pre-ordered my copy for $199AU through NextByte (Brisbane).
