File into the doh! category: in many places around the world, Mac fans and Apple distributors received a shipment they werent quite expecting: OS X 10.4 Tiger arrived at the door a full eight days ahead of schedule for some lucky folks who pre-ordered. Vendors PCMall/MacMall and ClubMac gave pre-order customers a treat by unleashing the OS ahead of schedule, quickly followed up by a recall of the copies from PCMall. Theyre telling customers the Tiger copies that shipped out early will not be supported by Apple, and that users will have to return the boxes and get new copies shipped next week though how they would differentiate supported from unsupported versions out of all that mess sounds like a bit of a bluff to us. Its all moot, anyway, as were sure that absolutely everyone is complying with this request and refraining from installing Tiger, dutifully shipping those boxes back without any copies made
schyeah. Let us know how it looks, you lucky pre-order stiffs.
OS X openings are always something to look forward to.
