Jaguar: Boxed and Ready to Roll
By Remy Davison, Insanely Great Mac
August 12th 2002
Eye on the tiger.
ThinkSecret reports from various sources that the international editions of Jaguar (OS
X 10.2) have been boxed up and are ready to ship to distributors.
Jaguar is due August 22, and ThinkSecret notes that the shortages of OS X 10.1 CDs in
September 2001 is not likely to be repeated this time around. This is especially the
case as Apple is charging $129 for a retail box.
The three-disc Jaguar package reportedly contains a developer tools CD, two installer
CDs and a short OS X manual.
Purchasers who bought Macs after 17 July qualify for the Jaguar upgrade and will pay
$19.99 for a CD.
According to the story, Apple is also encouraging vendors to run Jaguar launch events
in-store. SmallDog Electronics is one Mac store running a ''midnight madness'' sale to
celebrate the release of Jaguar.
Analysis: Apple appears to be running a very tight ship on X.2. Not only is the
release somewhat earlier than originally anticipated, but the international editions
appear ready to go. While this is to be expected, Apple often released major software
packages - if not full OS upgrades - ahead of time in, say, English and Japanese to
reap the full benefit of sales to early adopters, with other languages following. But
as previous reports have indicated, Jaguar development seemed to move by leaps and
bounds. This augurs well for the pace of OS X development - no more months of delay as
there was between the OS X public beta and the official 10.0 release.
