Fastest Selling Mac OS Release Ever

Apple today announced it expects to deliver over two million copies of Mac OS X version 10.4 "Tiger" by the end of this week, including copies sold at retail, copies delivered under maintenance agreements and copies bundled with Mac® systems shipped, making Tiger Apple's fastest selling OS release ever. Developer support for Tiger is also setting new records with hundreds of developers including Microsoft and Adobe announcing support for Tiger. To date third party developers have released more than 400 Dashboard widgets, 550 Automator actions and 40 Spotlight plug-ins for Tiger.

"The response to Tiger is off the charts," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Critics are raving, customers are delighted and developers are creating hundreds of widgets and applications that take advantage of Tiger's incredible innovations like Spotlight, Dashboard and Automator."

"With the new technologies in Tiger, we worked closely with Apple to ensure that Office 2004 customers would benefit by making it even easier to search, share and manage information," said Roz Ho, general manager of the Macintosh Business Unit, Microsoft Corporation. "Whether searching for an Office 2004 document using Spotlight or synchronizing data in Entourage to another supported device, the innovation in Tiger means Office for Mac users will be more productive now and in the future."
