I'm considering Tiger not as the amazing feature-packed OS Apple sees it as, but rather as Panther 10.3.10 (with everything how it should have been to begin with):

Where iTunes had always impressed with its search-as-you-type, now the whole OS (and any Spotlight-tuned applications) do that (Panther had both the Cmd+F Find File box and the Finder find box, neither of which I use).

Tiger adds to Exposé with Dashboard (I regard Dashboard as like a crap-draw, where you store all your stuff, if you have the Desktop metaphor everywhere else).

It makes the Address Book sensible, syncing birthdays to iCal and introducing smart groups.

It increases performance, and adds features to Safari, iChat and QuickTime (to mention but a few).

So yeah, it's a worthwhile upgrade, but I don't know if I'll rush to get it.


As a matter of interest, I shouldn't expect to get iLife '05 as part of Tiger, should I?
