When Tiger is gold then it is complete and goes to the press and will be distributed to the resellers which takes 10 days or so.

Now we know that Apple also has Safari 1.3 in development which is actually just a Safari 2.0 with the new features in Tiger stripped. If Safari 2.0 would in fact be complete then Safari 1.3 would be as well. However the Safari 1.3 update doesn't have to be pressed to CD. It will just be downloadable via software update.

However, we didn't see a Safari 1.3 update yet, which means Safari 2.0 is not yet finished and therefore neither is Tiger.

Safari 1.3 is included in 10.3.9 and Safari 1.3 doesn't have to be the show stopper for not releasing 10.3.9.

Furthermore Safari 1.3 and Safari 2.0 are different apps which could have different bugs - especially since they run on different OS X versions.

I doubt Safari has so much to do with it.
This has all been better covered in the existing 10.4 threads, in my opinion.
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.

As someone previously mentioned, Safari 1.3 is coming in an update.
