AppleInsider StaffThe development of Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update appears to be in the final stages at Apple Computer, as tipsters say the latest developer builds of the software are accompanied by only a few outstanding issues.
The near 52MB system update will be the fourth maintenance update released for Tiger in the seven months since Apple first made the operating system available to the public.
In the latest builds of 10.4.4, tipsters say Apple has made several refinements to the Safari web browser, including scrolling, download and rendering fixes. The release will also reportedly repair a hole in Safari that has blocked some users from accessing sites like GoDaddy.com.
If Apple's Mac OS X Update schedule in recent years is any indication, Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update should see a release just prior to the Apple's holiday break which occurs near the last week of December.
The most recent developer release of Mac OS X 10.4.4 is rumored to be build 8G22.

Most importantly... Tiger 10.4.4 for Intel can't be ready if the main 10.4.4 isn't, and I want my YonahBook On track to show in January and ship by March maybe?
Oh, man, I can't wait to go to the Apple Store to line up for my copy of Tiger 10.4.4! Yipee!
i hope it fixes .mac sync! I've been getting 'unable to login to sync server' for ages :/ not sure if its a 10.4.3 or server-end problem

You go to the Apple Store to get a copy? I believe this is a free version intended for software update, as per usual before the holidays.
