Well the difference is Apple's design and user interface. I used the demo for Konfabulator and wasn't all that impressed. Some shareware makers do a great job but lately I have seen applications pieced together such as QuarkXPress or Limewire. Also consider the creators of Konfabulator. They were very angry when Apple announced Dashboard and began promoting their product as the original Dashboard. That may get them some customers but over time they will have to add some incentive like design and user interface to draw the larger crowd. If that is their target audience.

I would like Tiger for my graduation present but may not get it. I wasn't inspired by Panther because I heard so much about it. Did not use Exposé except for showing off or when i really really really needed it. It all depends on your needs and outlook on new functions in Mac OS X.
