<a href="http://www.macbidouille.com"; target="_blank">www.macbidouille.com</a> confirms today that 6C8x et 6C9x builds are nothing more than smoke screen corresponding essentially to 10.2.1, and that Apple could announce jaguar at any moment...

    Wow... They seem pretty sure of themselves.



    Jaguar shipping at MacWorld?



    It seems pretty incredible though that nothing gets out until now on a french rumor site. Where are the European Mac OS X CDs printed? The AsiaPac CDs are printed in Singapore, unlike Mac OS 8.x which were all printed in Mexico.



    Also, arn't Apple supposed to be better on quality control now? <a href="http://www.macosxrumors.com"; target="_blank">http://www.macosxrumors.com</a>; has said that 6C9x is the most stable build so far, but not up to GM standards.

    I sure hope this isn't true. The 6C8x builds are still quite buggy, from my experience. Of course, 4K78 was buggy too.

    I doubt it. If they had branched the code to develop 10.2 and the successor in parallel they would have moved it to 6Dxx.



    Quite probably they are already working on 6Dxx-builds but won't seed them to developers.

    The article says that not moving 10.2.1 to 6Dxx is a smookescreen, to give the illusion that 10.2 is still in development.



    Personally (for reasons listed about) I doubt it.

    Apple would have their priorities screwed up if they placed the importance of having the thing shipping at MacWorld over having it work well. They said late summer, and they should take the time they've afforded themselves to get it right. It would be unwise to say the least if they sacrificed quality for an surprise ship date.



    Another thing to think about: some features like minimize in place were in the 6C7x builds and disappeared in the 6C8x builds. Does this mean 10.2.1 will remove them? Does it mean that the build that was first missing them was the FC? How would something like that work?

    Well, if the builds all you little pirates are getting are a smokescreen it's likely that Apple seeded buggy older revisions or buggy test revisions for the future while they hold onto a stable 10.2, I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

    Steve: Hey, can you not use your normal build designations for 10.2.x in order to fool the AI boards?



    Avie: No.

    To me this sounds like wishful thinking that Jag will be out at MWNY...

    conspiracy theory...



    Apple doesn't really plan on changing itools to .mac (too msoft like) and only put that in a few select developer builds to find the leaks.. Jaguar is ready to go and we'll be happily surprised tomorrow.. and I feel sorry for the mole...

    ...first of all, groverat, you crack me up. I love your sad little dig at people checking out Jaguar for themselves. Given Apple's complete and total disinterest in all the rumor sites posting screen shot after screen shot of it, a total chnage of attitude, I highly doubt they could care any friggin less who has "pirated" a copy. But, its nice to know you are out there doing the caring for them. Bravo!



    ....but, having used c35 and c48 prior to c92, I can tell you Jaguar has come a veeerrrry long way in a very short time. I have yet to run into a serious bug in half a week of using it daily as my standard OS. All the new features are actually working, unlike previous builds, and the speed has backed off a minutia as if Apple is looking to guarantee a little more stability in the code. Its still quite a bit faster than 10.1.5, but not as giddy fast as c48 was (which crashed on everything and didn't recognize my superdrive).



    So, although I doubt Apple ships Jaguar at the expo, I can definitely see it coming soon afterwards. I'm sure SJ will give us a firm ship date.
