Well the news wasn?t good but it wasn?t all bad either. Ward was correct (as
usual), Norton Utilities is toast. However, Norton Antivirus, Personal
Firewall and Internet Security will be updated. I guess the utilities side
of the house is being incorporated into the operating system and therefore
not profitable for Norton? I?ll be glad when the Norton Liveupdate shows up
with the fix for the stuff I have!
Here?s what was on the Symantec page relating to Symantec products and
Tiger:
Symantec 2003-2004 product compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4 (code named
Tiger)
Situation:
This document outlines compatibility between Symantec 2003-2004 products and
Mac OS X 10.4 (code named Tiger).
Solution:
The original releases of Symantec 2003 -2004 Macintosh products are not
compatible with Mac OS X 10.4. Symantec is working on solutions to allow
compatibility between Mac OS X 10.4 and the following products:
? Norton AntiVirus for Macintosh
? Norton Personal Firewall for Macintosh
? Norton Internet Security for Macintosh
Norton SystemWorks and Norton Utilities will not be updated for
compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4.
This document will be updated when new information is available.
While not supported by Symantec Technical Support, some of the Symantec 2003
-2004 Macintosh products have limited features when installed on Mac OS X
10.4.
