Sorry to burst your bubble, Guest, but he who goes by 'Realty Check' is not the real troll we all know and love. Someone who is trying to steal the love and popularity. Look at the Joined date and number of posts.
Back onto the topic, I am glad to see that Apple has not alienated the people who have not yet, for whatever reason, upgraded to Tiger. I am glad that I don't have to worry about buffer overruns in TIFF files anymore.

For what it's worth zpok, i've got a new 15" powerbook (just 2 days ago) and it came with Tiger installed. I haven't *really, really* messed around with it (installed beta software, lots of third party plugins) but it's running just fine... in fact, boot times are faster (not just cuz of the newness), spotlight rocks, mail is a little cleaner, safari is a little improved, dashboard is cool, and that's about it.
the real kicker is spotlight. and smart folders (like smart playlists in itunes). unbelievably convenient.
anyway, just to let you know! ![]()
