    Oh no, absolutely not. A *.*.10 update would simply be confusing to users, so they'll completely skip it.



    Or hadn't you heard?

    Doubt it.



    If anything, they would go up to 10.4.9.1 (wow that's long.)



    You really can't go to a two-digit number unless there's a point after it, so I would think they might even jump straight to 10.4.10.1

    Now there's some interesting logic.

    but that would indicate a smaller update than 10.4.10--like iTunes 7.1.1

    BZZZZZZZZZZT. Here we go again.



    When was the last time you saw a decimal number with *two* decimal points?



    ie, these are not decimal numbers.



    ie, the whole "two-digits must need a point after it" is bogus.



    ie, 10.4.10 is a perfectly valid build number and *is* the version after 10.4.9.



    The points are just delimiters, they are *not* decimal points. You could just as easily write it 10-4-9 and it would be just as valid: Major build-minor build-patch build.

    Nono. Obviously, the version after 10.4.9 is 10.4.ELEVEN.

    I cannot believe that the argumentation about the update numbering scheme still goes this strong.



    Of course, if Apple feels that there are so significant changes needed for Tiger, it will do it no matter what the name will be. But something tells me that with the already announced delay, Apple will not risk to further postpone Leopard by spending time on updating once more Tiger.

    If Tiger needs the update, they will update it. Security patches, bug fixes are reasons enought to continue supporting a CURRENT operating system.

    There are still plenty of bugs to fix in 10.4, therefore there will be a 10.4.10 and probably also a 10.4.11 until october.
