I've got a Tiger in my tank!

Old Esso ad tagline.

Anyway, loaded Tiger, and so far, so good. Beautiful. Dashboard is very cool. It's still indexing my drive for spotlight, so we'll see. No problems so far, except for Saft Lite and Pith Helmet, two Safari extensions I added that aren't compatible, but no biggie.

Flawless install, fast, nice. Safari's working great!

    Same here. Debated for quite some time if I'd get Tiger and iLife '05 standalone, or preinstalled on an upgrade of my aging iBook G3 800, and have chosen to keep my faithful iBook with me for some time. Although I like what I see, it still amazes me that I've been glad to pay EUR 250 for two (Panther and Tiger) service releases and EUR 160 for software updates (iLife '04 and '05) for an operating system on hardware that ships with the latest and greatest for EUR 1000. :)
    enjoy being here while getting there

    Outstandingly thorough (and unusually well-written for a tech piece) review here on Ars Technica.

    Wow. I'm learning a lot. Spotlight makes a great image viewer. It's got a slideshow mode that's great.

    Just got through skimming/reading that article. Fascinating, and absolutely well-wriiten. Brutal analysis of the Mac Finder. A lot of it went over my small head, but a great read and I learned a lot. Thanks.

    I agree with most of the complaints he has (at least the ones that I understood), but I have to say: I am really happy with Tiger. So many of the small annoyances in Panther are gone.

    I never miss that guy's OS X reviews. 100% meat and no marketing or pro-Mac media bias. Heck, it isn't even a Mac site so they have no obligation to like the Mac at all. And somehow he's also an entertaining writer.

    macosxhints.com has published some hints for Dashboard . I've already hacked my phone book to use Google maps instead of Mapquest, and made my widgets detachable, so they can be open all the time, floating above everything else.
