About the only thing new in OS 10.4 besides tons of bugs is the Dashboard thing. Thanks to trying this application, I have no need for something so silly. Now I won't feel left out not upgrading to 10.4 and just praying for the next update to maybe fix a bug. I have no bugs now with OS 10.3.9 and I think I kind of like it that way. I won't spend all my time trouble shooting for the next two years. If you want a solid OS 10.4, just keep your OS 10.3.9 and download this app and there you have it. You even save 120.00.

Tiger != Dashboard - Stormchild
There's quite a lot more to Tiger than Dashboard. Have a look at this excellent review at ArsTechnica for details. Tiger is a pretty big step forward for Mac OS X...it's just a matter of ironing out the issues that are bound to happen to some people during any major OS upgrade.Friday, May 20 2005 @ 12:16 AM PDT

This sounds like the wishful thinking of someone who can't afford to update. For my $$$, 10.4 has been the most worthy upgrade yet and it has a lot more going for it than Dashboard. Works great here...Friday, May 20 2005 @ 11:26 AM PDT

Spotlight and Automator make Tiger worthwile for me. Bugs? The only ones I have are in my front yard.Friday, May 20 2005 @ 12:41 PM PDT

Anybody who thinks Dashboard is the main reason to get (or not get) Tiger has obviously never actually used Tiger. ;)Tuesday, May 31 2005 @ 11:56 PM PDT

It's amazing how many lemmings will talk themselves into thinking that Tiger is a purchase well worth it. Tiger on a G4 is just plain terrible, performance wise and compatibility wise. Tiger is obviously made to take advantage of the G5's abilities.I also do not want to spend the next two years of my life updating programs and fixing endless crashes only to have another OS X version for $129 available by the time I get everything working smoothly again.
I'll stick with Panther thank you very much. Tiger is just plain thin!

I am using Tiger 10.4.1 on both G4 (1GHz) and G5 (1.8 GHz) an don´t see that much difference in performance, even though the 1.8 MHz is of course a bit snappierWednesday, June 01 2005 @ 08:04 AM PDT

Tiger is far more than dashboard. Where did you get that silly idea from?Reply to This
