Apple Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger Full Version (M9639Z/A)

Pros: Easy installation, powerful new features
Cons: Expensive, system requirements

I've never loved my Macintosh more than I do today. I installed Mac OS X Version 10.4 this morning, and Tiger truly lives up to the hype. After ten years of Apple computers and every Macintosh operating system from System 7.1 to 10.3, I started ...

Pros: Metadata search, widgets, beautiful design.
Cons: New mail.app is a little ugly and doesn't include iLife.

Why is it a Tiger? I don't know why, but every MacOS X release is named after a big cat (10.0 was Cheetah, 10.1 Puma, 10.2 Jaguar, 10.3 Panther, and now 10.4 Tiger). The logic of Apple's catty ways may be slightly confusing until one references ...

Pros: Fast, stable, new features really work well, better Windows compatibility
Cons: Expensive upgrade, worthwhile, but not essential if you have Panther

Its always difficult to review an entire operating system, especially when that system is new and you haven’t had a tremendous amount of time to play with it. OS X 10.4 “Tiger” is just such a system, and as I got it installed on my PowerBook only ...

Pros: Faster, More stable, Dashboard, Spotlight, Automator, and Nicer Interface...
Cons: Price a little steep for just an OS upgrade from Panther...

After a few months of upgrading to Tiger, I have finally come to a complete opinion of the new OS. I upgraded from Panther(10.3.X) and now have been fluidly running for about 6 months. I haven't had any major crashes or slowdowns. In this review, I will ...

Pros: Increased overall system performance. Experience-changing new features.
Cons: I haven't experienced any notable problems with Tiger.

Hello. Tiger is the best operating system I've used. I began using it the day it was released, which was April 29, 2005. Now that I've had some time to use it, I think it's time to review it. First, a bit of context. As far as operating systems ...

Pros: Tiger roars into action with some really fun features.
Cons: None.

Tiger is one sleek cat. Unlike previous versions of MacOS X, emphasis is more on innovative new features than improvements in basic operation. If you love new toys to play with, your new Tiger will definitely keep you amused. What is Tiger? ...

Pros: Feels faster and more responsive
Cons: Too much hype; minor bugs to be resolved in later releases; imposed features.

Apple's release of OS X 10.4 Tiger marks the achievement of maturity for the acclaimed operating system. I found many good things about it, with certain caveats and disappointment. PREPARE On the plus side, the upgrade process is as easy as ever, ...

Pros: It's not windows, it's BEAUTIFUL, and holy intuitive interface, Batman!
Cons: It's not windows, so less programs. By, like, a thousandfold. Takes a bit of re-learning.

I just got this OS on a laptop, which I got for college. This is also my first time using a Mac (so, this is my "Mac experience", not just 10.4). And, above all, I'm IMPRESSED. It took a bit of work to learn, but I'm pretty geek-literate, and I ...

Pros: more 64 bit support, new features, not windows
Cons: another paid upgrade

I have been a fan of the mac ever since I first started playing with Mac OS X Public beta. I am amazed at how Apple has been able to reinvent it's operating system with each new release. Tiger (10.4) is no excpetion. 10.4's biggest new feature ...

Pros: Fun
Cons: Sluggish operation, buggy

What happened? The Mac operating system for OS X, supposedly a powerhouse built on the stability of Unix, has left me wondering just what Apple thinks they're doing. Sure, they've got Widgets and they're really fun. But, Widgets won't process your jobs ...

Pros: Has some good concepts that could work in theory
Cons: Pretty much everything

When Apple came out with Mac OS X, I thought they were making a huge mistake. Going along the old line of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" they decided to scrap their old reliable Mac OS 9 platform (which was an evolution of the original Mac OS from ...

Pros: Some noticeable performance upgrades and impressive new features. Flawless upgrade from Panther. Visually stunning.
Cons: New features may not be worth price. Quicktime 7Pro not included. Safari feels slower.

I have been using Mac OS X since its introduction. I felt that Apple truly got it right with Panther as I had experienced flawless performance right out of the box. So when I initially heard about Tiger I really wasn’t chomping at the bit to ...

Pros: Flawless, fast, VERY PRODUCTIVE, great software bundle, awesome support
Cons: Wish it was free

OS X Tiger is unbelievable! It does nearly all daily tasks automatically. Also, with features such as the spelling correction, dictionary, and awesome search features, Mac OS X Tiger is the best operating system you can get! Those type of features ...

Pros: Great new features, very improved, great User Interface, incredible power.
Cons: Sometimes it gets sluggish, a little slow at booting time.

Apple's new os nicknamed "Tiger" is by far the best so far. Apple has introduced new features including spotlight, dashboard, automater, safari 2.0, and quicktime. My favorite new feature is by far: Dashboard. This application is ...

Pros: Sleek, fast, INCREDIBLE functionality, perfect task/file orientation.
Cons: Hmmm... I think maybe there was something I didn't like... Oh well...

Switching from Windows to Mac is a tough choice, but being a technician for Windows based systems... that's really tough. For all my computing life, I've been an exclusive Windows user, finding it to be the best at accomplishing everyday tasks without ...
