scruffy is on a distinguished road
There's a lot of big stuff in Tiger that doesn't have a flashy GUI - core data, which gives developers all sorts of nice features basically for free. core graphics, which developers of graphics apps will probably start building into their apps. Lots of features that are nice and useful to administrators, like access control lists for files (rather than plain old user/group/other permission bits)...

So, you might not see a lot of difference, but I suspect many programs will come out that require 10.4, or that have better features in 10.4, because it's just so easy to do cool things with the tools that 10.4 gives to developers.

And really - isnt' that what makes an OS good - that there are programs for it that do cool things?
