Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't nearly every update to 10.3 supposedly included updates to graphics performance?
to this day, i have yet to get ichat voice or video to work over a broadband connectiong between two towns?!?!
that sucks...
it works if i am in the same house, or heck, the same town... but outside that, no hope... maybe an ISP problem? I don't know! hopefully tiger will fix it.\
PS. Skype works great!

that is weird, i have had no problem video or voice chatting with people hundreds of miles away (Northern IL to Orlando, FL). perhaps it is an ISP problem, is this one one particular user or if the same user is closer there are no problems? perhaps its an issue on thier end.
On Topic:
im glad to see Panther getting to .8, i wonder if it will go to .9 by Tiger and i wonder if they only reason for these releases will be to stable out the OS so it can remain without updates like Jaguar ( i hope that made sense)
I wonder if "improves stability" is actually in the developers notes or AppleInsider are making that up. Same with the graphics drivers, Apple have updated them with every single point release so it's a safe bet to say it will bring updated graphics drivers.

Surely you jest
Are you kidding? You want a fast computer that crashes? No thanks. I'll take 5% off the top for a rock-solid machine any day.

I ichat video across the pacific on a weekly basis. If it works in town but not outside then there is a problem on the other end. The other persons ISP either has a firewall that blocks a crucial port or the other persons connection is too slow. But since voice doesn't work, I'm thinking that it's probably the firewall.
Here's a few documents that may or may not help you:

It went to Page 2 because there was little detail, no confirmation, and it was likely to be of lesser importance to most visitors than stories on Page 1.Flying Llama said:
I smell a Tiger... Jaguar only went to 10.2.8, I just hope Apple isn't rushing things too much. I still get the occasional kernel panic and spinning wheel of death. But, I do want Tiger ASAP so I can do a fresh install on my PowerBook...I don't think I'll do it on the iBook, it won't know how to handle it, haha. 
Even after Tiger is released, I expect to see Panther 10.3.9, 10.3.10, etc., probably including some security updates.

I iChat with a friend in Chicago all the time. That's across two time zones with no problems. We've also tried Skype, but that's audio only.

Wouldn't that be a change in Apple's policy, didn't they stop development (except for security fixes) of old Mac OS X versions after the release of a new one?
I'm still on 10.3.4 at work and at home.
Spending time on this site has made me far warier about updates esp. when I read of things suddenly stopping working. I can't afford to have that happen at the office...
Is it my imagination or have the recent rash of releases been problematic?
I hope that 10.3.8 will be well received and I'll certainly be 'watching this space' for news and reports.
