I did seriously consider upgrading, but now have decided against it. I'll wait and see how things stand in 6 months or so. I must admit I'm not sure the new features will make a major difference to me, the perennial desire to upgrade every time something, anything new comes out is so silly, I've said before, this is something the Mac community has picked up in recent years. When I used Macs in the past (years ago) there wasn't this overwhelming desire to keep getting the latest hardware and software. I have no need for widgets and spotlight, maybe one day but on consideration, not yet. I wouldn't go as far as saying Tiger is uninspiring but it doesn't have enough in it to make me want to shell out cash for it yet. Panther works well for me. As someone who has just recently bought a Mac mini, I think Apple should have offered a concession in the price on Tiger, also as a former hardcore Linux user, the idea of paying for an OS is still new.
