| Totally uninspired by Tiger
Apple is really reaching this time with "Tiger". Stock quotes and weather are so 1998. C'mon guys, "Handy Widgets???" - yeah we've had these barely-useful "Widgets" on my toothbrush for the last 5 years. Everything else is just a cluster of uninspiring updates and bug fixes.

I completely disagree. The new program "Dashboard" is an extremely welcome part of the new system, increasing productivity, ease of use, better time management, and just being pure cool. I use widgets with Konfabulator, and I find them extremely usefull on a daily basis. Also, keep in mind that Dashboard is only ONE of the new things in Tiger.

Things I'm looking forward to in no particular order: - GCC 4.0 (w00t!!) - XCode 2 - Spotlight (after using Beagle on Linux, I'm really looking forward to spotlight). - Safari RSS. There alone are worth the upgrade in my book. I've tested some of my code with GCC 4, and I get a rather nice boost in speed. There's a thread somewhere in the Tiger forum about my experiments. XCode 2 looks nice, with better Java integration. Easily worth the upgrade price on its own. |

As a Konfabulator user I too was looking forward to Dashboard, but found myself disappointed. Konfabulator is great because all the widgets sit on the desktop, all the time. I found with Dashboard that having to press a button meant I only used it infrequently. As one of my Konfabulator widgets gives me the last ten posts to these forums I felt that was a shame. |

Well: You can still use Konfabulator, can't you. Personally, if I had some konf-widgets open permanently, I'd keep them there and use Dashboard for things that _don't_ have to be always visible.

I Use Konf widgets daily and find it very handy to split widgets between desktop and background through Konsposé BTW Anyone knows if Konf Widgets will actually be compatible with Dashboard ? Or ones needs to start a fresh new collection of widgets
