| Tiger's Still in Beta
I'd say Tiger is still in beta, and likely will be for a good while. Rather than working out most, if not all, of the bugs before putting it on the market, Apple realizes that it means a lot more money in their pockets if they do the following: launch a big hype campaign well before the product is released and is really ready, then wait for the herd of sheeple, who really must be first on their block to have the absolutely latest Apple product, to madly rush to the store and buy it. Then wait for the new purchasers to do the in-depth testing that they should have done beforehand.
I'm still running OS 10.3.9 because it's solid, stable and smooth. I don't need or even want gimmicks. I don't even use Expose.
Will I eventually get Tiger? Perhaps, but not for at least a year,
after most of Tiger's bugs are fixed AND I can be persuaded that Tiger offers a demonstrably superior user experience than Panther.
