Apple.com prepares for Mac OS X Tiger
At least a half dozen tipsters have written in over the past week to point out an abnormal occurrence on Apple's Mac OS X download Web site. Present in the far right sidebar under "Categories" appears three new options: Automator Actions, Dashboard Widgets, and Spotlight Plugins. All three link to non-existent pages, but will soon act as a repository for Apple-approved Tiger add-ons and scripts. AppleInsider believes that Tiger is now fast approaching completion, and will likely reach Gold Master status sometime in the next 60 days.

Nice.
Looking forward to grabbing Spotlight and Automator plugins. I expect to see a vibrant community created by these new technologies.

Gold Master is english for "ready to ship"?

Gold Master is english for "ready to ship"?

It means the software is finished and ready to duplicate. It still takes time after Tiger goes GM for Apple to produce enough to be ready to ship, and time for lead-up marketing, etc.
i hope they take 120.
I'm so stoked about this! This is the most exciting thing since.........

What do you mean by that???

I think he means they take 4 months to get prepared and get it right the first time (no big bugs).

"no big bugs"
It is an Operating System release ... there will ALWAYS be a few big bugs that slip through. Due to the sheer size of a modern OS it would be impossible to catch everything before the first wide release. Way too many variables in the real world to test for them all while in development.
This is why the "wise" ones always say to sit out the very first release of any software.
To which I always say, where's the fun in being safe! Sometimes it is worth the risk of falling off to stay on the cutting edge!
